In January we launched a new series of single-session online events under the title ‘LitSalon Shorts’. We want to build on the success of the LitSalon Challenge with free-of-charge studies that are open to anyone. ‘Shorts’ simultaneously provide a bonus for our existing community and an opportunity for anyone curious about the London Literary Salon to get a taste of what we do without financial commitment.
Each ‘Short’ will give one of our amazing facilitators an opportunity to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for an aspect of literature or culture that may or may not be part of the traditional Salon repertoire. We aim to cover an eclectic and enjoyable range of subjects with one-off events held every four to eight weeks.
