We’re working hard on Issue Fifteen, and the Holiday Half-Issue, and, well, Issue Sixteen, too, but we still managed to mail out our Pushcart Prize nominations just under the wire. We had good reason to procrastinate, though, as two of the nominated stories came from Issue Fourteen.

Without further ado:

“Run Away” by Z.Z. Boone
“Big Girl” by yt sumner
“Out of Steampunk and Zombies Comes Bruce Lee” by Jenny Ortiz
“Album of the Year” by Gavin Broom
“The Pragmatist” by Hilary Gan
“That Was Called Love” by Chloe Caldwell

We’d also like to give a special mention to Caitlin Campbell’s “Honesty Spree.” It was magnificent, but was originally published elsewhere last year, so we didn’t feel right laying claim to it.

Anyway, good luck to the authors above, and we love you to all the others. We are fans of everything we publish here, but, sadly, we aren’t allowed to nominate all our stories for every award. Believe us, though, we would if we could.
