About Litro USA
Litro USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit literary and cultural publisher. We publish fiction, essays, criticism, poetry, interviews and interdisciplinary work, with a focus on serious writing, new voices and cultural exchange.
Publishing work with a longer life.
Litro USA supports writers and artists by publishing work with care, selectivity and cultural seriousness. We are interested in writing that can be returned to, taught from, cited, discussed and remembered.
The site is updated weekly through original fiction, essays, interviews and literary features, including Flash Friday, Tuesday Tales, Essay Saturday and Story Sunday.
As a non-profit publisher, Litro USA uses support from readers, funders and partners to commission new work, present it carefully and keep literature visible in public culture.
Fiction, essays, criticism, poetry, interviews and cultural work.
Litro USA edits with selectivity rather than volume. We publish new and established writers, organise work into a readable catalogue, and build editorial projects that can live beyond a single post or campaign.
Litro’s wider platform has championed emerging writers while publishing work by, and alongside, established literary voices. Work first published or featured through Litro has gone on to receive major literary recognition, including the Pushcart Prize and other international awards.
- Flash Friday — original flash fiction and compressed storytelling.
- Tuesday Tales — short fiction selected for voice, form and control.
- Essay Saturday — literary, cultural and reflective non-fiction.
- Story Sunday — fiction and narrative work for deeper weekend reading.
