Literary Los Angeles has always existed apart from our country’s publishing capital—3,000 miles apart, to be exact. What does this distance offer writers and book artists?

A panel of L.A. writers—authors of fiction, essays, graphic novels, screenplays, and poetry—delve into these questions, considering their impact on both the individual and the community.
