Welcome to Literary Craft Society
Where writers become weavers of their craft. We’re more than a community — we’re a movement.
Literary Craft Society (LCS) is a diverse and inclusive literary community where writing life feels less like a locked door and more like a lamp left on for you. Founded by women of color, LCS gives writers a way to come together to build a nurturing ecosystem rooted in craft, connection, and care. We help writers build sustainable literary careers through access to education, resources, community events, and insider knowledge from book workers and industry professionals.
We believe writing is more than artful storytelling; it’s a tool for transformation and change. Whether you’re just starting out, deep in a manuscript, or decolonizing your approach to the craft, this safe space is open for you to find your voice and create powerful, lasting work.
In short, LCS is rooted in literary liberation. Our mission is to open doors: more visibility, more opportunity, and more ways to get your stories into the hands of the people who need them.
Here, literary liberation means reclaiming storytelling as an act of resistance: empowering writers to heal, transform, and bring together communities through their words. Our members grow into writers who are agents of the change they want to see in the world. Together, we’re nurturing a literary movement that embraces the revolutionary potential of publishing as a living, breathing force for change.
We don’t chase trends. We cultivate legacies. We don’t gatekeep. We build bridges.
We don’t compete. We rise together.
“When marginalized writers are supported in ways that honor their full humanity and creativity, they don’t just thrive — they shift the literary landscape. —founder Juliet Diaz”
Beyond our virtual offerings, Literary Craft Society is deeply committed to in-person, on-the-ground work with marginalized communities. We are a career development hub and supportive space that provides access to education, community, and resources for marginalized writers — serving as a bridge between opportunities and book workers to help our members build sustainable writing careers.
