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 functions as a liberatory literary ecosystem—supporting writers in building sustainable, long-term careers through community, education, mentorship, resources, and transparent insider knowledge from industry veterans.
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.
LCS also publishes a bimonthly literary magazine, The Literary Craft Editorial, which offers paid publication opportunities and free submissions exclusively for our members. Together, we’re nurturing a literary movement that embraces the revolutionary potential of writing and 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. Here, literary liberation means reclaiming storytelling as an act of resistance: empowering writers to heal, transform, and bring together communities through their words—serving as a bridge between opportunities and book workers to help our members build sustainable writing careers.
