PUSHCARTS 2009
All of the folks here at the Tin House would like to congratulate the wicked goodness that is Shannon Cain's "Cultivation" and Bruce Smith's "Devotion: Red Shift" for receiving Pushcart Awards for 2009. Look for them in the Pushcart Prize Anthology down the road. ***********
Fall, 2008, the Tin House Political Issue
We are now reading for forward-looking political writing. Emphasis on forward-thinking, projections of trends and counter trends (no utopias or dystopias). With nonfiction, we are NOT looking for rehashes of old issues, but for fresh ideas. Solutions versus deconstruction. With fiction, we are open to exploration of history if it illuminates the present political condition and the implications for the future.
The deadline is June 1, but the issue will fill quickly, so please don’t wait. See submission guidelines for details.
