Publishing Track

Writing and Publishing students have the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience as a part of our Publishing Track, which focuses on specialized writing and writing-adjacent skills such as journalism, editing, book design, and entrepreneurship.

Students in the Publishing Track serve as staff members on one or more of our three publishing entities:

Batcat Press

BatCat Press is the only high school student-run small literary press in the nation. Students on staff get an inside look at the publishing industry, and spearhead the acquisition, production, and publication of several new titles each year. In Fall 2020, members of BatCat Press started Shambles, a brand-new online literary journal.

Siren media group (SMG)

Siren Media Group offers students interested in journalism hands-on experience through the monthly publication of Lincoln Park’s school newspaper, The SIREN, and digital news platforms. In Fall 2020, The SIREN debuted a brand-new website that also includes access to the print edition.

pulp literary and art journal

Pulp., Lincoln Park’s award-winning literary journal, provides students the opportunity to collaborate across departments to edit and produce an annual volume of the work of their peers. In Fall 2021, our students began work on the 16th edition of Pulp., making it one of Lincoln Park’s oldest, and proudest traditions.
