Verbal publishing

Lagan Online publishes a monthly newsletter and operates as website and social media platform. Lagan Online includes interviews, reviews, and literary news. It commissions new writing as well as showcasing new work and promoting an annual list of 12 writers across all genres from within Northern Ireland.

Honest Ulsterman publishes quarterly online. Each issues has range of articles, interviews, and features. The magazine has an open submission poetry and short story element which gives many writers, both established and emerging, a platform for their work.
