First Class Lit
Back in 2014, Dylan Fisher and I founded First Class Lit — a project to create and produce handwritten fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and more — all on the back of a postcard. Within a few months, Clare Boerigter joined us as an editor and together we waded through slush piles of submissions and life after college. Although we’ve all moved on to graduate school, the archives of First Class Lit remain online.
