Since its founding four years ago, the Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival has become an integral part of the cultural landscape in the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina.  

As the challenges of 2020 provided unprecedented obstacles to gathering in person, one thing became clear: people are hungry for inspiring conversations about books and subjects that matter. To that end, we gathered a star-studded lineup of speakers to present Charleston to Charleston 2020: Join the Conversation. Our 10-day virtual celebration of literature and ideas kicked off on November 6th, 2020, and offered daily opportunities to listen to (and occasionally interact with) a diverse collection of authors and other participants, addressing a wide variety of subjects.

We were thrilled to share our exciting program free of charge to viewers from around the world, checking in from six continents! Our sessions are now available for viewing on our YouTube channel. Visit our Brochure page to see a list of sessions, or our Speakers page to learn more about our incredible lineup of speakers.
