LCRW is an Occasional Outburst, an arrow shot into the future, a harbinger, a break from the daily meh, a lightness, a laugh, an incredibly serious archiving of a moment, a cinder from an old star set to light once more in the hands of readers.
LCRW is also a 1/2-legal-sized paper zine, saddle-stitched, running about 52 – 64 pages (sometimes 61), printed in black ink on white or ivory 30% recycled paper with a cardstock cover. We generally publish it in June and November. We — Gavin J. Grant and Kelly Link — kicked it off in 1996 and contributors since have included writers whose names you may know (Karen Joy Fowler, Ursula K. Le Guin, Molly Gloss, Carol Emshwiller, Jeffrey Ford, Ted Chiang) and many more whose name you may not — and that there finding and reading new-to-us voices is one of the joys of existence.
We like reading short stories and eating chocolate and are very happy to supply the best in both to readers. And, er, chocolate eaters. Does this read clearly? No. Fortunately we have better writers in the zine than we (by “we” I mean me, Gavin) have writing about the zine.
