The Literary Boroughs series will explore little-known and well-known literary communities across the country and world and show that while literary culture can exist online without regard to geographic location, it also continues to thrive locally. The series will run on our blog from May 2012 until AWP13 in Boston (OUR literary borough).

Did you mean Evanston, Illinois instead of Evanstown?
Great series! I notice you haven’t planned a piece on Nashville, and include this link, a quick guide to Nashville’s vibrant literary scene as a jumping off point.
I’m disappointed that Columbus, Ohio never ended up on this list–there’s a thriving literary community here.
Hi Silas,
Unfortunately we had to end the series somewhere, otherwise it could literally go on forever. The ones that we did feature were chosen because someone contacted me to write about them, not because they “made the cut” and others didn’t. There are definitely places that we didn’t feature that have great literary scenes. Hope that explains it!
Best,
Andrea
