Loud Coffee Press 2025 State of the Union!
LCP Family!
2024 was quite a year for us! We published four amazing issues and held a summer micro-fiction contest. Also, our own Annie James Thomas self-published her first novel, The Boy Who Brought the Sea! Thank you for all the support you’ve given us over the years. We are passionate about Loud Coffee Press, and our commitment to helping fresh voices get out into the world. We could not do this without your continued support.
In 2025, we are moving from a quarterly to a triannual publication. We are doing this for a few reasons. Most importantly, it will allow us to bring our writing game, Eight Bells Bluff, to publication. The game is about 90% complete but will require a push to get it across the finish line. We are extremely excited about this game because it teaches new writers how to write a story and will challenge experienced writers who want to stretch their abilities!
In recent news, LCP Editor Annie James Thomas appeared on the Sunderland Sounds Coffee with Creatives YouTube channel to discuss her writing process and her novel, The Boy Who Brought the Sea (no spoilers!). You can watch it here!
Also, LCP Editor Fred Charles has set September 2nd, 2025 as the release date for his ergodic debut novel, Broken Sentences. Broken Sentences is a genre-bending novel of existential dread told through five interweaving stories. The reader can use tarot cards for chapter selection or read it from start to finish the traditional way (but what fun is that?)
Wrapping up 2024, we’d like to leave you with our favorite things of last year!

we made these as favours for a baby shower. 12 pieces each so the toddlers could actually finish one. made a puzzle from a photo of the ultrasound, sounds cheesy, half the room cried anyway.
When comparing gaming platforms, I tend to notice the small practical details first. Are the menus understandable? Can visitors find the rules without searching through several unrelated pages? Is there a clear way to contact support? These are useful questions to consider while researching Tiranga game. A website may look attractive at first glance, but its instructions and policies provide a better idea of what users should expect. Taking time to review these details is a sensible habit before registering anywhere online.
I enjoy discovering fashion pieces that have a story behind them, especially when a particular look gets attention because of its design or styling. Celebrity Dresses is an interesting read for fashion enthusiasts who want to explore recognizable looks while also picking up ideas that can be adapted to their own sense of style.
The Get Out 2026 Russell Crowe Track Jacket stands out with its modern sporty aesthetic and distinctive movie-inspired appeal. I like how the track-jacket style can make a casual outfit feel more polished without looking overly formal. It can easily be combined with denim, sneakers, or other everyday essentials. The simple yet recognizable design gives it plenty of versatility for different casual looks. Overall, The Get Out 2026 Russell Crowe Track Jacket is a stylish choice for contemporary outerwear fans.
I was just trying to fix a similar issue and remembered seeing Twitch emote resizer mentioned. The part about checking the network tab first saved me a lot of time—I had the wrong endpoint configured. It's a good reminder to start with the basics before diving deeper.
