The Lit is an online magazine of creative writing and art by students at LaGuardia Community College, City University of New York, published once a year. Before moving online, The Lit was a print magazine.

Each issue is developed by a team of interns enrolled in ENG288, a Spring I elective open to all interested students who want to learn more about online literary and art magazine publishing.

Submissions open every year with the publication of the newest edition and close before the Spring I semester when the editorial team is building an issue. During Spring I, faculty and the editorial team work together to make selections for publication. Authors work closely with our creative writing faculty to workshop and edit their pieces prior to publication.
