Hartford’s L.I.T. (H.L.I.T.), is a group of local authors, artists, and entrepreneurs. Its mission is to establish the presence and awareness of Greater Hartford’s local authors, diverse artists, and entrepreneurs to revitalize literary arts and communication. H.L.I.T. focuses on literacy, literary productions, entrepreneurial building, and networking within Hartford communities, including the underserved and nontraditional communities.
