Let's face it: headlines are pretty grim these days, and we could all use just a little more happy in our day-to-day. Up Lit is realistic, feel-good fiction that affirms positive human connections. Even as characters confront tough circumstances, they also encounter kindness, humor, hope, compassion, empathy, and the best of ordinary humanity. Plot specifics, subject matter, and setting can vary: the story's central goal is to leave readers with a good "vibe" (one not confined to any particular genre). Sounds nice, right?
