The Resort was originally founded as a physical co-working space for writers in Long Island City (LIC), Queens, NYC — hence the “LIC” in our full name, The Resort LIC.
We are now an online community of hundreds of writers, including poets, journalists, memoirists, novelists, essayists, short story writers, and many folks working across and between genres. We believe in a non-hierarchical space, and our gatherings include published authors and those just beginning to put words to the page.
The Resort’s founder is Catherine LaSota, writer and creativity coach, and founder of the acclaimed LIC Reading Series. She wants you to write the stories that only you can tell.
