ROCHESTER, MN — Word on Fire Catholic Ministries announces its newest publishing imprint: Luminor. Led by Katy Carl, the imprint will serve to publish novels, short stories, memoirs, poetry, literary criticism, and more, highlighting fresh voices that bring to life once more the rich tradition of Catholic literature for today and years to come. Luminor seeks to illuminate the Catholic vision of life for serious readers of any faith or none.
“A major revival in Catholic arts and letters has been underway for a while now, and it’s a real joy to me to be able not only to nurture that existing community but also to expand its reach to readers who haven’t yet encountered it. Word on Fire Luminor is ready to shine a light into some of the contemporary world’s dark places,” said Katy Carl, editor of Luminor.
“Great works of Catholic literature animated by the true and the beautiful—Dante’s Divine Comedy, Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, the short stories of Flannery O’Connor—so powerfully awaken the soul to Truth and Beauty itself,” said Bishop Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire and bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester. “I’m delighted that Word on Fire is stepping into this great literary tradition with Luminor, and bringing out from that treasury both classics of old and emerging talents of today.”
Luminor is accepting new manuscript submissions and is hosting its inaugural short story contest. For more details, see the submissions section of the website: www.wordonfire.org/luminor.
