Paper Lanterns invites you to join us to celebrate the launch of Issue 14. Founded in 2020, we promote the creative voices of young people in Ireland and across the world, providing new and exciting content for a teen and young adult audience.

This issue is packed with poetry, short stories, personal essays, art & photography and book reviews created by teenagers as well as YA authors. Our contributors to this issue come from from Ireland, England, Canada, the US, India and Nigeria.The issue features an interview with Amie Jordan, author of All the Hidden Monsters and our book club pick, Something Terrible Happened Last Night by Sam Blake.

We’ll have readings by our teen and adult creators, along with a raffle for participants and issues and merchandise for sale. All are welcome. We hope to see you there!
