STANCHION'S ONLINE WEEKLY FEATURES
Stanchion began in 2020 as a print-only magazine and then in 2022 grew into a small book press. In January 2025 , Stanchion continues to evolve with the Stanchion online weekly features section. Each week, you can expect to find brand-new, original, and engaging prose and poetry from some of the most talented writers from the independent literary community, each of whom will be paid a small sum to have their work featured not in print, but online at StanchionZine.com
