On the cusp of coherence since 2009

It’s Here…

You’re walking through Vanbrugh, minding your own business. Suddenly The Lemon Press Issue 66 appears before you! In a panic you attempt to lob your £800 laptop at it but you rolled a 2 and it simply bounces off and smashes on the floor, thus ensuring that you’re not getting your summative in on time. The fell thing bristles and then ~sounds of dice rolling~, to your horror, satirises you so perfectly (it rolled a nat twenty) it knocks you to the floor. You try to escape but your puny legs (-2 dexterity modifier) can’t match the awesome speed boost given to it by the mysterious artefact Finn’s Bicycle. Before you can make your next move, the world fades to black and the credits roll. You’ve reached the end of Volume One, and the evil forces of corporate greed demand you wait until Christmas Day to find out how it ends…

Welcome to The Lemon Press, one of the University of York’s finest (and only) satirical magazines! If you’ve arrived at this page then either you’ve been accepted to UoY or your search for kitchen appliances has gone horribly wrong. Either way, it’s good to see you.

The Lemon Press is a student-run satire magazine which has been running since 2009. If you’ve got an humorous take on the world we live in then we want to hear it*.

We publish four issues in a year and accept articles from all UoY students. You can submit articles through the Google Form linked at the top of this page, through our email, or by leaping out at our editors and forcing them to take it.

Issue 66 out now! Read it if you dare…

Words of Wisdom

I have made genuine long-term friendships from this magazine, very much worth engaging with.

More than 2 years past, the fates put a copy in my hands, showed me more of York than anything else did, or could. Maybe you read an issue like I did, maybe you hadn’t heard of us till recently. Regardless, I hope the pages will bear your name soon.
