The work itself matters most, but I can't stress enough how much a great synopsis/pitch/short description of the thought process behind the book in the submission email helps get your manuscript noticed & get (at least this) editor-in-chief excited to open the document & read 1/2

This was true of the very 1st book I acquired (Jo Gatford's The Woman's Part) & it's true for the most recent one I accepted today. I got super stoked to jump into each manuscript because the paragraph in the email telling me what the book was about was SO GREAT & PASSIONATE. 2/2

Join me on Zoom next month for a pair of sessions discussing my book, the 1st ever Street Cat cruise, and more!

I wish I got more collages submitted to Stanchion. Damn I love collage art.

To read François Bereaud's interactions with the Stanchion Issue 19 contributors he has selected has been filling me with immense joy. His care & thoughtfulness, & adoration for writing & writers, is profound. What a gift this man is to our indie lit community & to the world at large.

Received a Stanchion acceptance from the super cool François Bereaud. This would be my 2nd Stanchion appearance; first was Issue 11. I have attached both covers by the brilliant Jeff Bogle. Thank you, guys! Pre-order Issue 19 from the Stanchion shop or elsewhere.

Issue 19 has been made & sequenced, and is utterly spectacular. This means all 407 submissions have been personally responded to (with one exception) in a mere 16 days. 22 acceptances. 5 continents. ToC coming soon. Now I need to sell it 😬 Only $10! stanchionzine.com/product-page/s…

Hope to see you at San Pasqual Winery next week for a Cowboy Jamboree Press “Night of Good Grit Lit” reading and signing with Melissa Flores Anderson, JD Clapp, and François Bereaud! Details below!

$10? 5 continents? Best deal ever! Truly spectacular writing here! Grab it friends!

Might not be as newsworthy as another lit mag ghosting hopeful contributors or a shady contest charges outrageous fees, but I've lowered the cost of Stanchion Magazine (who LOWERS prices, in this economy?!) & increased payments. I think that's something. stanchionzine.com/post/the-dawn-…

Talking Stanchion@Sea with the prose track instructor Hannah Grieco & the poetry leader (to be announced soon!) & getting stoked for what will be a memorable, magical & meaningful week in the Caribbean on the finest ship in the world. Sign up for info! StanchionZine.com/sea

Writing workshops, one-on-one writing development sessions, open mics, readings, yoga, mindfulness meditation, happy hours, group dinners, and so much more await on a writing retreat like no other.

Stanchion now comes at a lower cost and pays contributors more. All for the same quality. This is rare in indie publishing. Grab this beauty for $10. François Bereaud Stanchion

100 pages into The Safe Keep and god damn it is so great. The tiny details, the restraint, the terse dialouge. Aaah I love it so much!
