First time I actually licked an envelope in quite some time. Sending off our very first batch of Pushcart Prize nominations! It’s been a solid first year of publishing. Proud of the work we’ve put out and the writers who trusted us with it. Here’s to the next one.

A close-up photo of a brown envelope with a handwritten address in black ink that reads: "Pushcart Press, P.O. Box 380, Wainscott, NY 11975." The image is decorated with cheerful digital stickers: a blue text bubble at the top reading "to the post office!!!!", two pink hearts, and a "Good Luck" graphic in yellow and pink cursive script at the bottom right.
