The Pushcart Prize is an annual award handed out to short stories, essays and poetry originating from small presses. We here at Midwestern Gothic are so fortunate to read and publish such amazing works from folks all over the country, and while it’s hard to pick only a few to nominate, there were some that stood out as pure excellence.

So, join us in congratulating the following contributors who were nominated:
