Lantern Lighters
Light the Way Through Story
Every great adventure begins with someone brave enough to tell a story. At Lantern & Lore, we call our authors Lantern Lighters because their words have the power to light the way for others. Every page turned, every character loved, every lesson learned begins with an author who chose to share their imagination with the world.
We are honored to help those stories find Travelers.

Editing and Quality
Our goal is to offer Travelers books that provide a polished reading experience. If your book has not been professionally edited, that's not a deal breaker! We may request a complementary copy to review so that we can evaluate its overall quality before deciding whether or not to carry it. Review copies will not be resold and become part of our evaluation library. We even accept review copies with the grey bar that says "Not for Resale" for your peace of mind.
We understand that no book is perfect. Our review focuses on whether the book is ready for readers, with clear writing, understandable formatting, and editing that does not distract from the story. We care about quality, but we also understand that not every author's journey is the same.
Please note: Submission does not guarantee acceptance. Our goal is to curate a collection that offers Travelers a variety of high-quality stories while supporting authors at every stage of their journey.
