About

Since 2017, the Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival has become an annual highlight on cultural events calendars throughout the Southeastern United States, attracting audiences from all over America and further afield.

From its inception, the Festival has hosted an exceptional range of speakers in unique pairings of authors from North America, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, which spark fascinating and dynamic conversations about literature, art and many of today’s most relevant issues.

The Festival was founded as a result of a collaboration between two like-minded organizations, both bearing the name of Charleston: The Charleston Trust in Sussex England, which was home to the celebrated Bloomsbury Group of artists, writers and thinkers and hosts one of the most long-standing and renowned literary festivals in the UK; and the Charleston Library Society in South Carolina, the oldest cultural organization in the American South.

The Festival is now a standalone nonprofit organization dedicated to the arts and humanities. Famed for its Southern hospitality and showcasing beautiful venues in the historic city of Charleston, the Festival’s mission is to foster the unifying potential of literature, art and the civil exchange of humanitarian ideas. In a short space of time, it has established a reputation as one of the most inviting and prestigious literary festivals in the States.  

The Festival is coordinated by Charleston to Charleston, Inc., a nonprofit 501(C)3 corporation organized in Charleston, South Carolina.

Choosing inspiration over competition for a stronger community and a healthier way to do business.
