Literary Hub overview

Literary Hub, often abbreviated as Lit Hub, is an online platform dedicated to books, literature, and related cultural topics.

Founded by Grove Atlantic and Electric Literature, it aggregates articles, interviews, and reviews from various sources.

The platform covers multiple categories such as Craft and Criticism (including literary criticism, writing advice, and author interviews), Fiction and Poetry (featuring short stories, poetry, and excerpts from novels), and News and Culture (encompassing history, science, politics, biography, memoir, food, technology, and more).

Lit Hub also hosts podcasts under Lit Hub Radio, including shows like The Lit Hub Podcast and Memoir Nation.

Additionally, it provides reading lists, a reading challenge for 2026, and a review aggregator called Book Marks that highlights the best-reviewed books of the week.

The platform is active on social media platforms such as Threads, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Tumblr.
