Cirque du Livre

Overview

Cirque du Livre (anthology.org) is a writers' conference and convention in Mesa run by Bob Nelson of Brick Cave Media (brickcavemedia.com). It launched in 2016, spread over a number of independent downtown Mesa locations. In January 2018, Nelson cancelled the 2018 event but left the possibility of a 2019 event open and, indeed, the event did return. Dates were similarly announced for 2020 but the prospective event was cancelled to prioritise focus onto 2021.
