Not every community has a place where writers and readers can truly belong. Fond du Lac County does. 📚

Lake Literary Center is a creative home for anyone who loves the written word. From creative writing workshops and book clubs to author readings, literary events, and community building, Lake Lit exists to nurture the literary culture of South-Central and Southeastern Wisconsin.

Whether you're a seasoned writer working on your next manuscript, a reader who devours books by the stack, or someone who's always wondered if writing might be for you, Lake Lit has something waiting for you.

Come find your people.

Every great story starts somewhere. Maybe it's a memory that won't let go. A character who keeps showing up uninvited. A sentence that's been living rent-free in someone's head for years.

Erica Floyd knows that feeling well.

The Fond du Lac-based writer, editor, and MFA graduate founded Lake Literary Center to give this community something it deserves: a real creative writing home. Her workshops are designed to meet writers exactly where they are, whether someone has never shared a single word or has a half-finished manuscript collecting dust on their desktop.

This summer, the door is open. Come find your writing path.

This book is an absolute gem — a devastating but universally truthful read — and the winner of the 2025 National Book Award for nonfiction. It also has never been more relevant than right now.

Join us for Lake Lit’s monthly book club tonight, Monday, April 20, 6-7:30 PM! We will be discussing One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad, in honor of National Arab American Heritage Month.

There will be pizza and beverages, along with great bookish discussion! Not open to the public — attendees must be registered.
