About Camberville Lit

Hey there! I’m Kay Marlow Allen, a game designer, poet, & indie publisher based in Somerville. I’m interested in sharing the mundanity and the magic of the everyday, and my work creates spaces for resting, reflecting, and connecting.Camberville Lit grew out of a conversation I had with fellow local writers about our desire for a greater sense of literary community. If you’d like to get involved, the best thing you can do to help us build that community is spread the word!This project is supported in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
