LitFest - Amherst's Annual Literary Festival
The Center for Humanistic Inquiry partners with The Common, Amherst's literary magazine, along with the Emily Dickinson Museum, the English Department and the Office of Communications, to produce Amherst’s signature annual literary festival celebrating the college’s extraordinary literary life. One weekend each year, fans of good writing come from all over to hear their favorite authors speak and converse, while students have the opportunity to attend master classes by the visiting writers. The programming includes finalists and winners of the year's National Book Awards.
