Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.īecause we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission - and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Littsburgh™ is the online destination for the writers, publishing professionals, organizers, institutions, and readers who make Pittsburgh one of the world’s most literary cities.įounded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community. ![]() More book coverage from The Pittsburgh Tribune Review… “There’s been a general sort of downtown revival, I hear.” “I think (the literary scene) is dove-tailing with a great food scene, and an arts scene,” she said. She’d already heard about Arlan Hess’ new bookshop when it was mentioned to her. I don’t know quite how one decides to become a book town and then actually makes it happen, but it sounds like you guys have.”Īs a measure of the city’s burgeoning literary reputation, even the opening of an independent bookshop - City Books on the North Side - was not news to Yanagihara. “Congratulations to you guys for doing that, because apparently it’s a really big book town. MyPublisher’s books are available in landscape shape in 4 sizes that more or less can be paired with 5 covers and 2 paper types. “My publisher said (Pittsburgh) is an essential stop these days,” said Yanagihara, who will appear April 1 at the Carnegie Museum of Art Theater in Oakland as a guest of Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures’ Authors on Tour - her first time in Pittsburgh. That perception, and reality, has changed. ![]() Thus, book tours were rarely routed through Western Pennsylvania. All the major cities were on the itinerary, but Pittsburgh was never considered a place that celebrated or embraced writers and books. When Hanya Yanagihara worked in publishing years ago, there was a time-worn road map for touring authors. Yanagihara - author of one of Rachel’s favorite books, The People in the Trees - is the author of, most recently, A Little Life, which was shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize for fiction and selected as a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award in Fiction.īe sure to catch Yanagihara at Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures on Friday, April 1st. Pittsburgh’s fearless features reporter Rege Behe talked “Littsburgh” with Hanya Yanagihara after his recent interview with her for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - look for that feature in the Trib later this week!
