Lone Mountain Literary Society is a collective of writers, editors, and artists based out of San Francisco, California. We are chiefly interested in topics of reflection and transcendence in poetry, storytelling, and visual art. We love the mysteriousness of metamorphosis, a bristling voice, thoughtful craft, and work that stretches the philosophical mind and stirs emotions. Send us your beautiful, weird, experimental work!
To get a sense of what we go bananas over, our first issue (Issue 0), can be found here: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-nature-of-things-a-literary-magazine, and also on our website.
We are constantly looking to grow our scope and reach in the literary community. We strive to provide an excellent product and platform for our contributors' works, and a space in which everyone feels both welcome and comfortable. In the future, we look forward to hosting reading events, workshops, and writing labs. We especially want to grow organically in our local San Francisco literary community, and to host events and produce collaborative works that are accessible to local artists and are featured at local venues.
Lone Mountain Literary Society is accepting submissions for Issue 1 of its print magazine, The Nature of Things. Send us your best work! Read our description below of who we are and our general aesthetic. For this issue we're also looking for pieces that deal with sacred spaces.
