About Us

Little Free Lit Mag is a quarterly journal founded with the aim of publishing quality short form writing. Like “little” pockets of literary communities, we think small works can have a big impact. Each issue is published online and as a PDF, each available for free. The PDF is formatted to be easily distributed to Little Free Libraries and neighborhood book shares in order to reach a wide audience. Our mission is to celebrate our wonderfully diverse world of writers and readers by reaching them wherever they are.

We hope that this free access publication will encourage readers to find a greater sense of connection to other readers and writers, along with inspiration and enjoyment in these pages. We aspire to meet the same altruistic goals as the grass-roots Little Free Library movement – expanding access to and appreciation for these short forms of literature, building community, and encouraging the discovery of kinship through the written word. 

We aspire to delight readers who already are aware of lit journals, and to inspire new readers and writers to discover and join the literary community, especially those outside of academia. 

This Little Free Library resides in Seattle!
