Twin Cities Literary Punch Card

Welcome to litpunch.com. This site guides you through how to start getting more out of the many literary events the Twin Cities have to offer. Throughout the year specific events are designated as ‘punch eligible,’ if you attend one of those events, you get a punch. If you buy the featured book at that event, you get a second punch. 12 punches (a knockout) equals a $15 gift certificate from one of the participating booksellers, plus a mystery package from the sponsoring organizations.

The Twin Cities Literary Punch Card is sponsored by Coffee House Press, Graywolf Press, The Loft Literary Center, Milkweed Editions, and Rain Taxi Review of Books. There are six local, independent bookstores participating (Boneshaker, Common Good, Magers & Quinn, Micawber’s, University of Minnesota, and Valley Bookseller).
