The Writing University's LitCity is a project that maps where writers lived, worked and socialized while they were in Iowa City. And in this LitCity Lore Collection, we curate and highlight specific sections of the LitCity Project, discovering quirky locations and stories that spark our writing imagination! You can explore the full collection at the LitCity Project main site, or discover specific highlights from the project below. Enjoy!
