Lost Cause Publishing Group
proudly serving the literary community since 2005


Journal

March 2008

After an extended hiatus the decision has been made to close Lost Cause Publishing Group once and for all.

LCPG hereby renounces all rights to any material published and all rights revert to the owner.  All slush pile material, that is, material that has been submitted to us but not yet published, is released and we claim no rights to publish that material now or in the future.  All published material is renounced as well and we claim no right to publish or distribute these books and stories once the below mentioned download is removed.

The Lulu.com store has been closed so no more print products will be available.  The free download of The Complete LOST CAUSE Quarterly will remain available on dA for a limited time to allow the people who didn’t have the chance to get a copy time to do so.  Once the book is removed it will be gone for good, however.

Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported over the year and a half that we were publishing and heartfelt apologies for all the promises and failures to deliver that occurred over the last six months or so of LCPG.  But let’s focus on the good points of the project, shall we.  Thank you again for everything.

Mission Statement

Lost Cause Publishing Group is a publication initiative dedicated to promoting and serving the literary community.  Our goal is to provide a publication alternative to authors frustrated with the catch-22 of the system.  The system that says in order to get published you need an agent and in order to get an agent you need to have been published.  This is a gross oversimplification but that is what it seems like to starting authors.  We provide an alternative to authors who have begun to think that getting published is a lost cause.  All that matters is the quality of the work.  Everything else is peripheral.


Store

The Lost Cause store is closed.
