Lighthouse Journal
Lighthouse is a literary journal dedicated to publishing new writing and championing new writers. We publish the best short fiction, poetry, and art emerging from the UK scene.
In addition to the journal we also publish one-off poetry pamphlets.
But the development of the year in short fiction – yes, more exciting, perversely perhaps, for this observer, than either Alice Munro winning the Nobel or Lydia Davis nabbing the Man Booker International – was the emergence of Lighthouse, a little magazine from Norwich publishing short stories, poems and essays of exceptional quality, including one (Anna Metcalfe’s ‘Number Three’) that was later shortlisted in the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award worth £30,000. Lighthouse, with its excellent editorial judgement and attractive modishly old-fashioned design, is a publication to cherish.

The Lighthouse Ethos
Lighthouse is aimed at new writing primarily (but not exclusively) emerging from the UK writing scene. We are particularly interested in seeing the experimental as well as the traditional. We run on a voluntary basis and not-for-profit. All money made is reinvested in future publications.
