Our Mission
The Literary Map of New York State and the Literary Tree began in 1998 and serves as a comprehensive information site for New York literature: a virtual, interactive encyclopedia and literary events calendar. LitTree aims to bring awareness to the rich literary history and current events of New York State by cross promoting writers, literary organizations, colleges, bookstores and libraries. LitTree is a comprehensive database of up-to-date information about New York State literary events, organizations, small presses, libraries, and writers nationally/internationally.
