Literally Speaking is Berlin's fiction reading series that features local writers and the authors who inspire their stories. Each month, five writers share their original work, paired an author of their choice. The pairings aim to get everyone in Berlin’s literary community “on the same page.” It’s a way to see what’s catalyzing our local writers and bring us closer together through literature.

If you would like to submit your fiction for future readings, please see the submission guidelines in the about section of the Literally Speaking page, and send your stories to LiterallySpeakingBerlin@gmail.com
