Introduction

The Local Scroll is the written contingent of the The Local Word Reading Series, a fortnightly live literary event that takes place in Washington Heights, in the art space at Le Cheile (lecheilenyc.com). The Local Word project is committed to promoting an accessible and active forum for readers and writers alike to engage with new writing, in both live and text based forms. The Scroll is a place for our esteemed performers to publish their original work.
