Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Our Mission is to create a bridge, fusing the communities of Los Angeles and Southern California Poets, poetry organizations, Writer groups, booksellers, publishers, literary enthusiasts and supporters into a unified social and literary network, making the literary arts inclusive, accessible, and visible to all. LAPS' focal point is to publicize the events and achievements of its members. LAPS also organizes and promotes events, pulling from within its own community, to create and sustain Los Angeles’ literary anchor.
Results: This year, we saw over 2000 participants engage with our activities. On average, we produce 75 events a year, free of charge to the community. We host open mics, book festivals, book parties, poetry workshops, cultural engagement actions, publish books, feature and celbrate writers, conduct radio and media interviews. We have published over 200 creatives since the launch of our small press in 2020.
