The Litquake Edit-a-thon

Create editors, create community, create content!

San Francisco Meetup #22, the first ever Litquake Edit-a-Thon will occur in parallel with Litquake, the San Francisco Bay Area's annual literature festival. Writers from all over the Bay Area and the world will be in town during the nine day festival, so the timing is just right for us to meet, create and improve articles about literature and writers. This event will include new editor training. All levels of Wikipedia editing experience are welcome.
