People go crazy for a 7 minute submission window online. Tomorrow night, I'm hosting a live, irl, in the flesh submission window / open mic. Not sure anyone has done that. Possibly, for a good reason. Lol. Hoping my idea isn't a flop. Come share your work with me in Charm City.

Here's my From the Editor's Desk introductions to issues 21 & 22, the literary equivalent of a double album. Music changed my life & it continues to make it fuller and more joyful. I'm so happy I decided to do a themed issue that became two volumes. Please consider ordering at StanchionZine.com/shop

It's AWP Week! 😬
I've got lots on:
An offside reading/irl submission window & open mic pitch party, a big booth with author signings, cool raffle prizes, a display for my own book(!), yummy treats, and more. Please pop over on Wednesday night and/or during Bookfair from Thursday through Saturday!
If any presses want to publish my book in time for next year's AWP in Chicago, that would be cool....just saying
01.03.2026 22:23 — 👍 13 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 2I think the thing I'll say most during AWP is thank you, as I meet authors & magazine contributors for the 1st time & thank them for being a part of the Stanchion story. And I'll say a lot of thank yous to those who have in the past bought books & issues. That's the only way all this works.

Re: AWP. I truly don't know what I'm doing, as always, but as always I'm gonna do it my way with enthusiasm, kindness, effort & more than a little awkwardness. Come say hi, see what I've been making over the past 5+ years, get a hug, see a warm friendly smile, & maybe talk about cats, too. 🖤🤍
