Caravan’s monthly Lit Lab is a low-stress, high-impact virtual gathering for anyone who wants to learn more about writing, publishing, and literary craft, and get their hands dirty in the process. Each month’s lab focuses on a new topic.
Labs kick off with a short presentation, followed by a Q&A. Then we roll up our sleeves and dig into prompts that let us experiment and explore.
