Why are you doing this?
Since we believe that quality literature and art are essential for the existence of an intelligent society, we’re trying to help perpetuate an intellectually engaged culture.

It’s the pizza. We’re all here for the pizza.
Who's your favorite writer we've never heard of?

Do you also write yourself?

What impact do you think Brooklyn Lit has had on the publishing world at large?
Brooklyn reminds the rest of the publishing industry that young, hip people still think reading is cool.
