Lansing Lit

Gargantuan gratitude to everyone who took part in Lansing Lit this year! It was the best one yet, and we already look forward to seeing you for the book crawl, merchant market, and myriad bookish events next year.

To commemorate the occasion, Morgan Walls typed us an original poem! ♥️

Today! Check out the Merchant Market at Reo Town Marketplace from 12-4PM! Lots of vendors will be popping up inside the marketplace!

Lansing Lit is this weekend! All across town, indie book shops, authors, creatives and readers will literarily party 🎉 Join us Sept. 18-20!

The Merchant Market has a new location this year at Reo Town Marketplace ⚙️ Lots of vendors will be there on Sunday from 12-4, and it’s also the place to claim your tote bag if you finish the book crawl a little late in the game. While supplies last!

The book crawl is a favorite part of the festival for many. Make sure to grab your printed zine and bookmark, available at any participating bookshop!

MEET THE LANSING LIT TEAM:

Dylan Rogers (The Robin Books) is one of the founding partners of Lansing Lit! It is well-known that he relishes a chance to talk about what he’s reading, so…

“I’m currently reading Gene Wolfe’s ‘New Sun’ series for a literary sci fi romp, as well as ‘Trauma Stewardship’ for self-improvement and ‘Don Quixote’ - a delightful challenge with insights to spare.“

Make sure to visit The Robin for a variety of events during Lansing Lit!
