Lorehaven Magazine: Year Two Welcomes Tosca Lee, Conferences, and Contests
Last month, Lorehaven Magazine completed its first year with four issues.
As you may know, subscriptions are free. Each issue shares practical reviews of the best Christian-made, fantastical novels.
Lorehaven also helps Christian fans grow with interviews and articles from leading creatives. It’s the perfect publication for your child, Sunday or Christian school class, youth group, or church library. We want Lorehaven Magazine to find a way anywhere Christians love fantastical stories.
Here’s where Lorehaven Magazine will go in the first half of 2019.
February
Our spring 2018 issue will become available to anyone.
Still haven’t found time to see the magazine? Starting this month, you can view our first issue for free in website article form. We’ll announce this on SpecFaith and Lorehaven social media, and with new stories here and my own web portal, EStephenBurnett.com. Then you can find the link to read issue 1 at Lorehaven.com without even a (free) subscription.
We’ll start our first contest.
Friends at Revell Fiction, publisher of Thomas Locke’s Enclave, will give away copies to a random winner in this first Lorehaven contest! Again, watch for more to be announced in early February.
March
Lorehaven Magazine will be featured at the Realm Makers Mobile Bookstore.
Dallas/Fort Worth readers, come by the Great Homeschool Convention on Thursday, March 7 through Saturday, March 9! There, at the Fort Worth Convention Center, you’ll find the Realm Makers Mobile Bookstore. This is the premier traveling retailer for excellent Christian-made fantasy, science fiction, and beyond.
Lorehaven‘s spring 2019 issue will release.
This fifth issue will feature Tosca Lee, creator of pre-apocalyptic thriller The Line Between. Explore our conversation with Tosca and our review of The Line Between. This issue overflows with reviews of amazing stories, plus fantastic articles and advertisers. (Ask about advertising here.)
Our second contest begins.
Books aren’t free, except for when they are. When our spring 2019 issue releases, we’ll also announce a giveaway of The Line Between.
April
Visit Lorehaven Magazine’s booth at Teach Them Diligently in Waco, Texas.
We’re planning to stick with the Lone Star State for Teach Them Diligently‘s annual conference. This is scheduled in Waco, Texas from Thursday, April 11 to Saturday, April 13.
Stop by our booth to meet fanservants, talk books, and pick up magazines.
May
Intro: the Lorehaven review team.
Lorehaven is blessed with an amazing team of reviewers. It’s time you met them, in a special series here on Speculative Faith.
June
Lorehaven‘s summer 2019 issue will release.
Get more flash reviews, articles, and (just maybe) our in-depth Roundtable talk about story sexuality in biblical perspective.
July
Lorehaven will return to Realm Makers in St. Louis, Missouri.
Christian aspiring authors and fans alike, don’t miss this annual event. Realm Makers returns to St. Louis’s Sheraton Westport Chalet from Thursday, July 18 to Saturday, July 21. So will Lorehaven Magazine.
Visit our booth in the bookstore. Or, Lord willing, we will have even more surprises in store. …
For His glory, and for our joy in Him of fantastic stories,
