Lanternfish Press, founded in Philadelphia in 2013, publishes literature of the rare and strange: fiction that crosses the boundary between literary and speculative; real or imagined tales of characters at the margins of history; essays rooted in a strong sense of place; a cabinet of curious Victorian reprints. We seek the grotesque, the alien made familiar, the "I don’t know what this is—but I love it."

We are open for submissions twice a year, in the spring and fall. View active calls for submissions at lanternfishpress.submittable.com. View general submissions guidelines at lanternfishpress.com/submissions. Manuscripts sent via email will not be considered. Please note that we do not publish short story collections.
