The Saints + Sinners LGBTQ Literary Festival

Since 2003, Saints + Sinners LGBTQ Literary Festival has grown into an internationally-recognized event that brings together a who’s who of LGBTQ publishers, writers, and readers from throughout the United States and beyond. The Festival, hosted by the same folks who bring us the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival and usually held over three days each spring at the Hotel Monteleone in the New Orleans French Quarter, features panel discussions and master classes around literary topics that provide a forum for authors, editors and publishers to talk about their work for the benefit of emerging writers and the enjoyment of fans of LGBTQ literature. Featured speakers this year include Wes Jamison, Frank Perez, Carol Rosenfeld, Delaney McLemore, and more. $200. sasfest.org.
