EarthLines is a quarterly full-colour, A4-sized, 64-page magazine dedicated to high-quality writing on nature, place and the environment. The first issue was May 2012.

Our focus is on a broad interdisciplinary approach to literature which explores the relationship between people and the natural world, and encourages reconnection.

EarthLines is also unique in that it springs from a way of life that is rooted in the natural world and in the wild: it is created and published by independent publisher Two Ravens Press, from our working croft on the remote far western coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.

For more detailed information about us and our aims, please see the About Us page of our website.

The magazine’s editor is Sharon Blackie. All design, typesetting and production work is carried out by Sharon and her husband, David Knowles. EarthLines will be printed in the UK using only papers from FSC/PEFC suppliers.

Our website for the magazine is at www.earthlines.org.uk. Please visit it for more information on content, how to buy and subscribe, and how to submit.

If you would like to contribute a guest post to this blog, please email us (see ‘contact’ page). We’re looking for contributions that are of relevance to the focus of EarthLines. We’re quite happy to consider republishing relevant articles that have appeared on your own blog, if you have one. We’re also interested in blogs that talk about or review particular works of ‘eco-literature’ (fiction, nonfiction, poetry) – new or old.

About Two Ravens Press

Two Ravens Press is an independent publisher of contemporary British and international literature based on a working croft on the Atlantic edge of the Outer Hebrides. We specialise in challenging and innovative ‘eco-literature’: fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Two Ravens Press was set up in November 2006 by two writers, Sharon Blackie and David Knowles, operating originally from a working lochside croft near Ullapool in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. In May 2010 we relocated to another croft by the sea, in the wild and beautiful region of Uig, just where the road runs out on the far west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. We keep two small flocks of registered rare-breed sheep (Hebrideans and Jacobs), a couple of breeding sows, Roman geese, Cayuga ducks, a miscellany of hens, and a Kerry milk cow is forthcoming in January 2012. And with our raised beds and Keder polytunnel, we plan to become self-sufficient in vegetable production.  For more information about Two Ravens Press’ publishing arm and the books we publish, please take a look at our website, http://www.tworavenspress.com.
