Green Hills Literary Lantern is published annually, in July, by Truman State University, Kirksville, MO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GHLL welcomes\nwork from established writers as well as from less experienced writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, the\nprint publication ran between 200-300 pages, consisting of poetry, fiction,\nreviews, and interviews, and was printed on good quality paper with a glossy,\n4-color cover.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital\nmagazine is of similar proportions and artistic standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GHLL reads submissions year-round, and published a new edition\nin June\/July. Reporting time 3-4 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writers are strongly urged to read several sample\nissues in order to learn what sorts of things GHLL prefers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do we like? There are stories I read thirty\nyears ago and still remember. We try to find that sort of thing and publish it.\nSometimes it\u2019s a compelling dramatic situation that grabs us by the throat in\nthe first paragraph and won\u2019t let go till the end: Frank O\u2019Connor\u2019s \u201cGuests of\nthe Nation\u201d asks us to imagine what it\u2019s like to be a basically decent sort of\nperson who takes hostages and kills them. We\u2019re not much for alt-worlding, but\nreally good fiction can and does get set in realms that do not exist: you wake\nup one morning and discover you\u2019ve been transformed into a large insect. Deal.\nMight be a poignant character we can\u2019t forget, like the protagonist of Joyce\u2019s\n\u201cAraby,\u201d even if what we remember is profound dislike (\u201cThis is My Living\nRoom\u201d). Maybe a setting, like the town in Lardner\u2019s \u201cHaircut.\u201d And maybe it\u2019s style,\nor a philosophical conundrum given intense emotional embodiment. LeGuin\u2019s \u201cThe\nOnes Who Walk Away from Omelas\u201d scores high on both. We\u2019re not crazy about the\nBig Reveal and the Twist Ending, mere cleverness. Faulkner\u2019s \u201cA Rose for Emily\u201d\nendures in spite of, not because of that stunt. Very unlikely to publish\novertly inspirational material, or genre stuff that doesn\u2019t do anything\nparticularly interesting with the conventions and stage-machinery. We like\ncraft; Alice Walker’s classic “Everyday Use” has everything,\nincluding a genuine MacGuffin.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
