August 1 is so close. Who's planning to submit a piece of writing or visual art to be a part of Stanchion Issue 16 or 17? I'll be open for just 24 hours and can't wait to spend time with your work. Thank you in advance for considering Stanchion Magazine a worthy home for it.

Please enjoy the whole of Good on Paper by @amygcb.bsky.social from Issue 15 of Stanchion.

Would you like it if Stanchion offered expedited submission responses for a small charge? Say, $5 for a 48-hour response (+ a free PDF of your choice of any Stanchion book) after the August 1st, 24-hour sub window to make Issues 16 & 17?

I may be (should be) on here less over the next 6 weeks as I finish my book but I'm publishing a new book next week & I'll be fulfilling orders moments after they come in. So, if you need a great summer read from a small press that pays authors & cares & tries a lot. Here I am 😊

Serious question: Are my chapbooks priced too low? Too high? Most are between 60-90 pages and cost $13 (cover price) or $11 (when pre-ordered). Plus shipping, of course. What's the sweet spot for a book of that size that's fair for readers and for authors who are getting paid?

A 5 month heads-up: Stanchion Books will open for manuscript submissions on October 1, 2024, including, for the 1st time, novels. If this may be of interest, I invite you to read the bottom half of the submissions page of the website to learn how Stanchion works with authors.

A 3 month heads-up: Stanchion will open for submissions, for 24 hours, on Thursday, August 1st, to make Issues 16 & 17. I print beautiful issues, I pay a little bit, I nominate & champion, and I never ever charge a fee because writers should be paid to write, not pay to be read.

A reminder that writers should be paid to write, not pay to be read. ...and be paid to read/perform at live events, too.

My mom carries with her a lace handkerchief from her mother. She loves that the heirloom keeps her connected to her mom. I found an Etsy seller making embroidered flower handkerchiefs with lace & Book Club Members will be receiving one with their copy of We Don't Know That This Is Temporary in May.

Nice reading last night. Nice after party with tables of tapas and drinks shared with a gaggle of great writers. The fact that people come from hours away to be a part of a Stanchion event blows me away and makes me blush. Thank you for making this so damn beautiful. 🖤🤍

I have had a long dry spell with lit mags but Neo would like to tell you our good news. @stanchion.bsky.social published our micro Valley Blues. I had a copy sent to my high school English teacher. I feel like I won The Booker; Lynda Gray emailed me to tell me how proud she is of me. #amwriting

It's always exciting when a new issue of the magazine begins to arrive in mailboxes around the world. And that has begun to happen with Issue 15. Thank you so much to those who were able and have chosen to buy a copy / subscribe to Stanchion. It means the world to me. 🖤🤍
