We are Locavore Lit, a literary journal bringing writers and artists into PUSD and LAUSD classrooms to nurture a new generation of creatives. We believe reading is revolutionary. Locavore Lit is a product of Light Bringer Project.

Find and follow Locavore Lit on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay involved and in the know about the local literary scene.

In the 2018-19 school year, Locavore Lit served approximately 340 students at Fairfax High School, West Adams Preparatory High School, and James C. Foshay Learning Center. Here's what our students had to say:

"This program has helped my reading and writing by showing me different types of literature, It has given me a reason to draw the story I'm reading in my head."
—Angel

"Since you guys have been coming I actually left class meaning to write. I love art and have found more ways to do art."
—Lilliana

"You have made me begin to read, Like I like reading nob—it's interesting, I love the stories that talk about life."
—Ricardo

"I've felt my writer's block lessen from what it was before. I also started drawing more and looking at more books."
—Karma
