The cost of living is too high to draw a large literary community, and the association with theme parks drives people away. There's a group that does readings and stuff together, but they're small, cliquey, and not terribly interesting. For a metro area of this size, a dozen people doesn't make for much of a literary community anyway. You have to leave Orlando city limits to find a good bookstore anyway.
