Welcome to Lore and Lanterns, the playful sibling of Quills and Cosmos Press. Here, stories shine with wonder, whimsy, and light. We publish speculative fiction—fantasy and science fiction alike—that is magical, adventurous, and fun, while still uplifting the voices of women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other minority authors.

At Lore and Lanterns, we believe every reader deserves a story that sparks joy and ignites imagination. Our books are the ones you reach for when you want to smile, dream, and follow a trail of lantern light into new worlds.

Step inside, and let these stories brighten your night.
