Lowestoft Chronicle is, first of all, adroit in their website design, giving visitors a crisp and indelible impression--- a prowess most literary magazines lack years ago when technology wasn't that ground-shaking. Lowestoft Chronicle 2011 Anthology, an anthology of prose and poetry published in past Lowestoft Chronicles' issues, was touted by Luke Rhinehart, a writer, as an impetus for inspiring him to write short stories again after a hiatus. If you love to travel around the globe, have a profound wisdom gleaned from your golden age, or write commendable poems, you are bound to be accepted by this publisher. Most of the stories are colloquial and informal- that is because Lowestoft Chronicle gives priority to humorous and succinct prose and poetry. According to their submission guidelines, in contrast to the editor's Humanities schoolteacher, who would place exam papers on a grocery scale and grade according to weight, Lowestoft Chronicle would always give priority to shorter manuscripts. Long stories would therefore not be accepted. Whether this is a shortcoming or not, I leave you to judge, though I can assure you that the works are ethical and worthwhile to read for a person who is not so pedantic about literary gravitas. If I were to gauge its readability, I will say unequivocally that it fits perfectly on the average level. People like Bertrand Russell and Charles Dickens would not find this magazine an intriguing and erudite one to enjoy though. Moreover, Lowestoft Chronicle has a fledgling publishing company, which hitherto stores only three books. You may visit their shop and buy a copy of the Lowestoft Chronicle 2011 Anthology to get a taste of their literary expertise.
