Literary Events - Gulf Coast hosts or participates in several community-based literary events. The journal has enhanced its community presence with the Gulf Coast Reading Series, a monthly gathering at the Lawndale Art Center, and its annual Spring Issue Release Party. These events continue to bring esteemed writers, editors, publishers, and readers to the Houston area. Each Spring, Gulf Coast students attend the AWP Conference & Bookfair, which seeks to expand the subscription base and exposure of Gulf Coast Literary Journal.
Each Spring, Gulf Coast hosts a Spring Launch Event to kick start the release of its Summer/Fall issue. This event is open and free to the community and includes a reading and discussion by a panel of nationally acclaimed contributors.
