INLANDIA INSTITUTE is a nonprofit organization focused on cultivating literary activity in the Inland Empire, a 29,000-square-mile region in inland Southern California. Originating from the reception and expansion of the Inlandia: A Literary Journey through California’s Inland Empire anthology, the institute organizes programs and publishes works to deepen awareness and appreciation of the region’s literary culture. Based in Riverside, California, it serves readers and writers in the local community through events and partnerships that support creative writing and literary education. The organization traces its formal development to 2007, with incorporation in 2009 and nonprofit status achieved in 2012, and it operates within the education administration sector. A notable recent development is Inlandia at Home, a virtual events series launched during the pandemic to continue engaging audiences remotely. The institute positions itself as a center for literary activity in the Inland Empire, bridging authors, readers, libraries, and cultural institutions through programming and publishing.
