About The Paper Lantern

The Paper Lantern is the student literary journal of Normandale Community College, 9700 France Avenue South, Bloomington, MN 55431. It is designed and edited by the members of the Creative Writing Club and AFA Capstone Class.

During the fall semester, the Creative Writing Club meets to review submissions and share works from the weekly theme. All Normandale students are welcome to attend these review meetings.

During the spring semester, the AFA Capstone Class reviews submissions and produces the magazine, with help from the CWC as needed.

The project is made possible by the Normandale Student Life Activity Fee. The Paper Lantern online is made possible by a generous gift from the Kevin Downey estate.
