Announcing Stanchion's 2021 Pushcart Nominations!

Each year, little magazines and small book press editors throughout the world are able to nominate six pieces of writing for the Pushcart Prize. A panel of judges will then select winners and publish them in a gorgeous anthology collection. The Pushcart Prize was named among the most influential projects in the history of American publishing by Publishers Weekly. 2021 marks the first time Stanchion has nominated pieces of writing.
