However, in the past few years, with the fan fiction writers of today becoming the published mainstream authors of today the past time is a celebrated benchmark of one’s climb to publication. In the season two premiere of It’s Lit, we explore what happened and how fan fiction writers were able to come out of the proverbial closet of shame. Hosted by Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes, It’s Lit! is a show about our favorite books, genres and why we love to read. It’s Lit has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Hosted by: Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes Written by: Angelina Meehan, Lindsay Ellis Director: David Schulte Executive Producer: Amanda Fox Producer: Stephanie Noone Editors: Sara Roma, Derek Borsheim Writing Consultant: Alexis Soloski Executive Producer (PBS): Adam Dylewski (PBS) Editorial Producer (PBS): Niki Walker Produced by Spotzen for PBS Digital Studios.\n
