From Tumblr threads to self-published novels, alternative literature is rewriting how we tell stories and who gets to tell them. Ctrl+Alt+Lit will explore how alt-lit remixes cultural narratives and creates community beyond traditional publishing, diving into a world shaped by parasocial relationships, the internet, and all of the media therein, including fan fiction, zines, newsletters, and forums. Featuring a panel of experts from Acacia Magazine, 4N Magazine, and Choo Choo Press, followed by a zine swap and mixer, Ctrl+Alt+Lit aims to offer a countercanon rooted in passion, identity, and connection.
Asian American Writers’ Workshop – 18 W 21st St, Suite 900, New York, NY, 10010 – accessible entrance & restroom
