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!

Exceptional website. Your statements have been considered and reflected upon. I am keenly looking forward to reading future posts and have saved the site as a bookmark. The endeavor is praiseworthy. A game that many individuals widely enjoy is: monkey mart
The Loud Coffee Press 2025 State of the Union highlights key trends, innovations, and cultural moments shaping the year ahead, offering readers insight and inspiration. Covering events like this helps keep audiences informed and engaged with current conversations. Even stylish touches, like mens vintage leather jackets, can add a timeless, confident vibe to presentations or promotional features.
I liked how the post on the 2025 State of the Union for Loud Coffee Press broke down changes in roasts and how shops are trying new things because it felt like real food talk, not fancy writing. I remember when I was stressed and pulling late nights, I used online business studies exam help notes to keep me focused while sipping strong coffee, so I get the link between study and caffeine vibes. Reading this makes me think small trends can change how we enjoy everyday drinks and work.
Such an informative post — really liked how you covered layering tips! I’ve been looking for something playful yet warm, and I found exactly that at Wilson Jackets. Their Palace x Doraemon Fleece Hoodie adds the right mix of cozy fleece with an eye-catching design.
This post gave off such good energy — refreshing and real! On a side note, I’ve been browsing Vanson Jackets, and I think their NFL Sideline Football Cape Coat deserves attention. It’s sporty, sleek, and super comfortable for cold weather.
