ABOUT
about us
Lanke Review is an online literary and art magazine seeking prose, poetry, and art submissions that align with (but not necessarily having to follow) the theme for each issue. We're searching for works that takes us through time, art that sweeps us away, and a voice that rings. We want words rebirthed & grown from memories, and quiet & soulful visuals that make us breathless.
​
Founded in 2020 by M. He, Lanke Review is dedicated to giving young and new adults a platform. We want to explore the limitless possibilities of the arts throughout time-- whether in the past, present, or future, we want to hear your voice. Send us your mythology retellings and historical fiction. Send us works that blur boundaries.
​
Together, we can be time travelers.
MASTHEAD
RESPONSIBILITIES
Poetry and Prose Reader: read over poetry and prose submissions & edit as needed. If interested, readers may also write two pieces for each issue as an addition to the poetry & prose columns.
Staff Artist: designing & providing cover art for each issue and overlooking some social media promotion.
Translator: if there are accepted submissions in a language outside of English, translators will work closely with the writer & poet to translate their ORIGINAL works if desired.
We are delighted to welcome you to the Lanke family! Please submit the work that best represents you in the position you want to apply for. The only limit we'd like to set is concerning age; because we are minors ourselves, we would like to establish an age limit of 18 or below. Thank you for respecting us.
