Detroit Lit

Detroit Lit produces readings and professional development opportunities for BIPOC writers in Detroit

Donate

Detroit Lit is a project to support Detroit’s literary community. We acknowledge and uplift the history and culture of Detroit as a city region of people traditionally excluded from the national conversation. As a place which is majority Black, Arab American, and Latinx, we center writers of color and their experiences.

Through joyful engagements and high quality professional development we provide writers with opportunities to gain the skills they need to excel within this field. Detroit Lit’s mission aims to sustain and expand Detroit’s vibrant writing community, so no one feels forced to leave in order to succeed within the literary arts.
