We’re thrilled to announce this year’s nominees for the Pushcart Prize Anthology. Each year, small presses nominate many wonderful stories and poems for publication in this distinguished anthology.
We love all that we’ve published over the course of the season, and so choosing only six titles to nominate is difficult. It requires much discussion — many, many emails! With these nominations we hope to see YA represented alongside fantastic writers from such a wide swath of genres and writing styles.
Congratulations to our winners!
Short Fiction:
- Tanvi Berwah, “Red Velvet Cupcake.”
- Melissa Ostrom, “Safety Measures.”
- Heather Meloche Smith, “Trifles.”
Poetry:
- Mia Nelson, “want as/an ocean.”
- Mary E. Cronin, “Grand Central Terminal: A Villanelle.”
- Mackenzie Vanover, “Mi parada de autobús.”
