Loud Coffee Press 2026 Update and Cool Things!
Hello LCP Family!
2025 was a year of transition for us. We put the magazine on permanent hiatus because of personal commitments and desire for us to work on releasing our novels.
Editor Annie James Thomas released her first novel, The Boy Who Brought the Sea, and Fred Charles is about to release his first novel, Broken Sentences: A Novel of Existential Dread, on 2/3/2026!
We are taking the next month to decide on a new direction for Loud Coffee Press. For this year at least, we are planning to focus on expanding our Substack to focus more on culture-based things we enjoy as well as a blog about creativity. We are also toying with the idea of putting out a call for submissions and publishing an anthology in both print and Kindle format.
We’re not sure what’s in store for Loud Coffee Press in 2026, but we hope you will stick around for the ride!
Anyway, here are some cool things to check out!
Do you believe in Bigfoot? The Mothman? What about the Sandown Clown or the Atlantic Ocean Winged Abomination? We didn’t know there were so many cryptids until began listening to this podcast! Join Greg as he tells his friends Dan and Eric about weird creatures and creepy stories as they travel around the world! You can listen to Greg’s Cryptid Corner on all major podcast platforms. You will believe…maybe.
If you enjoy old-school fantasy, we highly recommend checking out the Elric saga! The Elric series is part of the sword and sorcery genre made popular by Robert E. Howard’s Conan series. Elric is a doomed anti-hero and one of the more popular characters in fantasy. If you like dark and adult fantasy with some 60s psychedelia thrown in, you will enjoy this series!
Nefarious is a really interesting take on the demonic possession genre. The story centers on a convicted serial killer being evaluated by a psychiatrist to determine whether he is insane. Most of the story is a dialogue-driven cat-and-mouse game between the killer and the man who holds his fate in his hands.
Cheers!
Fred and Annie, Loud Coffee Press!
It's refreshing to see a publication openly acknowledge a pivot rather than quietly fading away. The decision to shift toward culture writing and a creativity blog while still considering an anthology seems like a smart middle path. I'm curious how you'd balance the editorial workload of a print and Kindle anthology against the more flexible Substack format, especially given the personal commitments that prompted the hiatus. Wishing both of you luck with the novels and whatever 2026 brings.

A good mobile experience depends on more than simply getting an app to open. I looked at Raxi Win APP from that perspective and spent some time checking how its sections were arranged. The navigation was relatively clear, and moving through the menus did not require much effort. Aarti tends to notice these details because she uses her phone for most browsing. For me, the uncomplicated screen layout made it easier to understand the different areas without repeatedly going back to figure things out.

I enjoyed reading this update and seeing how the publication continues to share new ideas, creative work, and interesting things with its readers. It reminded me of a small creative project I worked on where trying new ideas made the process more enjoyable. During that time, I used a creative digital agency while working on some online content. It taught me that creativity often grows when you stay curious and are willing to try something different.
