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

Find and follow Locavore Lit LA 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 LA 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."
