On November 2, 2024 at The Pit in Glendale, LITLIT returned with small presses and vendors from all over Los Angeles and the West Coast. Guests shopped from over 40 independent presses, entered raffle giveaways all day long, and enjoyed refreshments from local vendors. LITLIT also featured four panels throughout the day, spotlighting authors, publishers, and other folks involved in literary work on the West Coast.
