Friday, Oct. 24 marked Lake Lit’s one year anniversary! On October 24, 2024, we held our first event as Lake Literary Center LLC, a reading featuring author E.L. Block. Block returned to Lake Lit this October with a Gothic Fiction workshop, and it was such an enriching class to start spooky season.
As autumn settles over the lake, and the pages of our calendars rustle with new beginnings, Lake Lit is delighted to share what’s unfolding this fall — and a first look at our 2026 lineup of courses, readings, and gatherings.
