About

STORIES. IDEAS. COMMUNITY.

Local Lit @ LOTTA was a bi-monthly literary reading series by and for Greater New Haven area authors.  Each event featured the work of multiple authors. We accepted fiction, creative nonfiction, and memoir. Prior publication was not necessary. We followed every story with an audience discussion led by a moderator.

We met the 1st Tuesday of every other month on The Range @ LOTTA Studio at 911 Whalley Ave in New Haven.

Although the pandemic of 2020 necessitated that we hold our final event online, rather than in person, the recording of that event gives you a taste of what Local Lit @ LOTTA offered the community.

Contact Rebekah L. Fraser for more information.
