Highlighting and celebrating local Kansas City authors has been something we've prioritized since we first opened our doors. With LIT ON GRAND, a celebration of literature (and other good things), we hope to connect our city’s writers, poets, booksellers and entrepreneurs with all of us who call the Kansas City area home.
