Update!

If any of you have been wondering what in the world has happened to our little press, fear no longer!  We are quite alright, after suffering from a minor head cold and quite a bit of sneezing, we have managed to recover and still have all our wits about us.  You may or may not have heard the exciting news that Black Lantern is leaving this online forum for the world of paper cuts and E-Zines.  Read more about our new project on our website.    

As of August 2011, we will again be open to submissions for our print and E-Zine magazine (which will be available for purchase on our website).  Heck, if you love us that much, you can even buy a subscription to our little magazine, and wouldn't that be a nice present for someone you think is particularly special?  

Of course, we are sorry to say that we are temporarily closed to general submissions, but hope that you all will stop by often and keep tabs on us.  And of course, for those writers and artists out there, be sure to re-read our submission guidelines and put your best shoe on your left foot before submitting your piece to us in August.  We look forward to hearing from you!!!

Volume II, Spring 2010

Volume I, Fall 2009

Best of 2009-2010, Print Journal

Black Lantern Publishing is proud to announce our printed, Best of 2009-2010 collection, which will be available for purchase in the Fall of 2010.  Included in the publication is Issue I (Fall 2009) in its entirety, along with selections of the "best of" our published writers and artists of Spring 2010 and our yet to be released, Summer 2010 journal.

Originally, Black Lantern had anticipated releasing a print version of each of our online issues.  Yet as we continue to grow and with our increased reader base, we feel that our online forum has been a great success, and do not wish to see that change.  However, we would like to offer our readers the opportunity to own a printed journal with selections of our published works.

Presently, Black Lantern is planning on releasing a yearly print version of the online journal for purchase, which will be available on our website.  Included in the printed journal will be a compilation of art and literature from the Winter (Dec.-Feb), Spring (March-May), Summer (June-August), and Fall (Sept.-Nov.) issues of our online journal, selected by our editor-in-chief.  This first, printed copy, will include our very first issue, along with selected works from our Spring and Summer issue (as a Winter issue was not available for this year).

As always we would like to thank our readers for their continued support, with hopes that our print version will be as great a success as our online journal.
