Before 1994, New York City, the “publishing capital,” lacked a community literary paper featuring mind-stimulating stories, essays and poems for consumption by New York editors, agents, writers and readers.
Literal Latté filled the void. Debuting in June 1994, it offered 30,000 free copies of a tabloid newsprint magazine filled with literary brew in New York’s coffeehouses, bookstores and arts organizations. Six times per year.
Reaching ten times as many readers as traditional literary magazines, Literal Latté caffeinated careers, bringing writers from around the world into the offices, homes and hands of New York’s publishing professionals.
The founders knew that good writing, in a friendly and easily available format, would be as popular as cappuccino in a cafe in New York City.
Now online and free to all, Literal Latté remains committed to finding and nurturing great talents.
You can also order it in book format. The first anthology is now available, in paperback and hardcover–featuring highlights from the first 15 years of brewing great word combos.
Get comfortable. Have a taste. Enjoy.
