Luminaura Magazine, published by the official imprint of Happie Literacy Works, Happie Face Publishing House, is thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of Volume 2, themed “Synchronicity”—an exploration of the mysterious, meaningful connections that weave through art, literature, and the human experience. Set to debut online on October 1, 2026, Volume 2 will be freely available to read for one full year, after which it will be available for purchase.
A Truly Global Response
The call for submissions for Volume 2 drew an extraordinary response from creatives around the world. Luminaura received nearly 90 submissions from 76 creatives spanning the globe—a testament to the universal resonance of this issue’s theme. From those submissions, 26 exceptional works have been selected for publication, representing an incredible breadth of voice, form, and vision.
About the Theme: Synchronicity
Synchronicity—coined by psychologist Carl Jung—describes the phenomenon of meaningful coincidence, the sense that the universe is speaking through pattern and alignment. Volume 2 invites readers into that liminal space where the personal and the cosmic intersect, where separate threads reveal themselves to be part of the same fabric. The selected works span poetry, prose, visual art, and beyond, each piece a unique lens on this shared theme.
Availability & Access
Volume 2 will launch as a free digital publication on October 1, 2026. Readers will be able to access and enjoy the issue at no cost for one year from the release date. Beginning October 1, 2027, Volume 2 will transition to a paid publication available for purchase.
Also Launching: Volume 1 Ebook & Print Edition
Alongside the Volume 2 announcement, Luminaura Magazine is proud to confirm that Volume 1 will be available for purchase in both ebook and printed book formats beginning August 1, 2026. Volume 1 marks the debut of a publication built on the belief that art and literature have the power to illuminate, connect, and transform—and its arrival in physical form represents a meaningful milestone for the Luminaura community.
