A powerful lineup of award-winning authors, industry professionals, and emerging voices will take the stage at LA County Library’s first-ever Next Chapter Writers’ Summit, a free literary festival held on October 5, at West Hollywood Library and West Hollywood Park.
The writers’ summit, themed Celebrating LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC Voices, brings together a wide range of storytellers for a day of panels, workshops for teens and adults, and conversation, affirming the importance of diverse perspectives in literature at a time when the freedom to read is being challenged.
“Stories shape how we see the world,” said Dr. Skye Patrick, County Librarian and Director of LA County Library. “The Next Chapter Writers’ Summit is a vibrant tribute to the power of storytelling and its ability to connect, heal, and inspire. We’re honoring the richness of our communities and encouraging writers of all backgrounds to take up space, share their truth, and shape the future of literature.”

In addition to the author programs, the day will include resources for writers, opportunities to meet literary agents and editors, and library tools designed to support creators.
