Why Lit Escape?
Literary + Escape= Lit Escape
Inspired by stories. Rooted in connection.
Lit Escape is more than a name- it’s the heart behind everything we create.
“Lit” to capture the literary spirit, but also to reflect the spark that stories light within us— the way books can shift perspective, bring comfort and help us feel understood. (It’s also a subtle nod to my maiden name, Little.)
“Escape” represents more than travel. It’s about stepping outside of daily stress, quieting the noise, and allowing yourself space to breathe, reset, and reconnect— whether that’s getting lost in a good book or a meaningful experience.
Created for Connection
Lit Escape was created for readers who sometimes need an escape— and find it in the worlds that stories allow us to step into.
Because stories don’t just entertain us.
They help us slow down, process, and feel understood. They give us space to breathe when everything else feels a little too loud.
Lit Escape brings that same feeling into real life with intentionally designed experiences where connection feels natural and never forced.
Not overly structured.
Not overwhelming.
Not performative.
Just meaningful spaces where connection is sparked by the love of stories.
Hi, I’m Emily
Lit Escape started with one simple idea:
Bringing readers together in real life. I just wanted to create a place where readers could connect through their love of stories and feel like part of a true community.
Whether you attend a local gathering or a larger getaway– I can’t wait to meet you at a future escape 💖
