The Lowestoft Chronicle is a quarterly online magazine that publishes short stories, flash fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, interviews, and artwork. An anthology of the best work is published annually. Preference is given to humorous submissions with an emphasis on travel.

History and reception

The magazine was established in 2009 by Nicholas Litchfield.[1] Cheryl LaGuardia of the Library Journal wrote of the magazine: "All things considered, it might just be a very good thing if the Lowestoft Chronicle were to achieve their goal of world domination."[2]

The magazine has received positive reviews from several authors, including James Reasoner,[3][4][5][6] and Matthew P. Mayo.[7]

The magazine also received positive reviews from the Austrian national radio station FM4[8] and the literary journal review website The Review Review, which has given Lowestoft Chronicle a five star review on two occasions,[9] describing it as "full of great talent and exceptionally well-written pieces."[10] NewPages.com wrote of the magazine: "Lowestoft Chronicle presents entertaining and exciting stories that lend themselves toward travel without dipping completely over into travel writing."[11] Praising Lowestoft Chronicle for its layout, artwork, poetry, and fiction, it noted: "Many of the works take one to far-away and exotic places."[12]

The magazine also publishes a print anthology series. Luke Rhinehart touted their first anthology as an impetus for inspiring him to want to write short stories again.[13] In Examiner.com, Mary Beth Magee praised the variety and quality of the writing in Lowestoft Chronicle's 2015 anthology Other Places[14] and Frank Mundo said of the 2013 anthology, Intrepid Travelers: "Without a single stinker or filler piece in the bunch, this wonderful 160-page 'little' anthology definitely bids well for the strength of work the online magazine version must regularly publish.”[15] The Lancashire Evening Post, called Intrepid Travelers "a coruscating cornucopia of humour, drama and big, beautiful adventures",[16] and Other Places "a mouth-watering feast", noting: "Packed into the pages are stories to entice, enthral, and entertain...incisive and enlightening interviews...and a tasty blend of pleasing and deftly prepared poems."[17]
