Join us for the 2024 Asian American Literature Festival (AALF), a historic multi-city gathering designed to support and nurture Asian American literature and the literary community. The AALF is a space of stewardship, kinship, and care, where we celebrate the role of Asian diasporic literature in creating community.

The Asian American Literature Festival Collective is a cooperative devoted to stewarding the futures of Asian American literature as art form and social ecosystem. Organizing partners within the collective include the Asian American Literary Archive, Asian American Writers’ Workshop, Bamboo Ridge, The Georgia Review, Kaya Press, Kearny Street Workshop, KidLit with Sarah Park Dahlen, Reorienting Reads, and Slow Currents (Liminal x Satellites).
After the Smithsonian’s cancellation of the 2023 Festival, the AALFC is proud to convene an independently organized and collectively funded iteration of the Festival for 2024.
