The Charlotte Center for Literary Arts, known as Charlotte Lit, is a small nonprofit arts center in Charlotte, North Carolina, dedicated to promoting literary arts. It was founded as a 501(c)(3) organization by Kathie Collins and Paul Reali, with its inaugural program in 2016 featuring poet Linda Pastan. Since then, the organization has expanded its activities to include a broad slate of events aimed at writers and readers.

Charlotte Lit counts more than 200 members and hosts over 100 events each year, centering on classes, conversations, and community engagement. Its mission is to celebrate literary arts by educating and engaging participants, while its vision is to be a valued part of the Charlotte arts scene and to emerge as a premier regional writing center. Recent developments include ongoing community conversations, such as the planned February 20, 2025 event The Power of Diane Oliver's Voice, and earlier initiatives like the Beautiful Truth program (launched in 2018) and Litmosphere (launched in 2022 as the journal for its Lit/South Awards).
