Cozy Fest 2.0: Print and Pyjamas
Cozy Fest is back for a second season! All Lit Up’s popular all-virtual, on-demand literary festival brings 19 authors to your screens for a warm, and fuzzy way to close out the year. Read more about our comfiest book fest, below.
What is Cozy Fest?
Our on-demand style literary festival is especially made for those who need a little pick-me-up after a busy year and for those who’ve always wanted to attend a book fest in their pyjamas. Our readers—19 authors across Canada—come to us from their homes, bundled in their comfiest pjs and warm knits to read passages from their books; passages that spark hope, comfort, kindness, and resilience. We have something for everyone with a wide variety of featured books, from novels, short story collections, plays, poetry collections, and YA.
We encourage you to get right into the spirit with your own cozy attire and hot beverages of your choice and follow as we bring you near-daily readings. The best part is you can take in the readings at your own pace — watch them from anywhere, at anytime.
How can I participate?
