In August of this year, Lion Lounge Press published its first anthology of creative writing, ‘The Lounge Companion,’ in which they managed to include

previously unpublished authors from various creative writing courses around the world, alongside established and critically acclaimed writers.

Though they do not offer pecuniary compensation for shortlisted submissions, they realise that publication is in itself a form of remuneration, especially

for those that are looking to make a name for themselves as writers, and they would also like to stress that in no way do they intend to seize hold of the

writers’ copyright. In fact, contracts will be drafted with shortlisted authors in order to protect their interests.

‘The Lounge Companion Vol. 2’ is scheduled for publication in March 2010, and they will continue to accept submissions for it until December 31,2009.

They also welcome submissions for their other 2010 publications, including travel writing and other genre fiction. Please have a look at
