The LitCritters are readers who write and writers who read, based in Manila (moderated by Dean Francis Alfar) and in Dumaguete City (moderated by Ian Rosales Casocot).

We believe that there is much to learn from reading all sorts of fiction - from speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror, magic realism, surrealism and interstitial fiction) to realism and everything in between.

If you're interested, you can join the us in 3 easy steps:

Download the stories up for discussion and read them.

Attend the next Open Session at A Different Bookstore in Serendra (held every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month; we start at 4PM) and get ready to talk.

Everyone is welcome. No degrees, previous workshops, published stories, pedigrees/bloodlines and certainly no awards required. Note that all stories are for discussion purposes only.
