Here is a small sampling from our recent Editor Interviews. We have interviewed over 1,550 editors.
Q: Do you nominate work you've published for any national or international awards?
A: Yes. We go to bat for our writers on social media as well. We also have internal awards, such as the Red Lobster Prize, an editors' choice for the best piece in a given issue.
A: not at this time
A: We regularly nominate for the Pushcart Prize, Sundress Press's Best of the Net anthology, the Bettering American Poetry anthology, and the Rhysling award. We think that award nominations are a win/win for any small press - it lets authors know that we recognize the outstanding quality of their work, and anytime one of our authors wins, it reflects well on us as a press. Any small press that doesn't nominate is doing their authors a disservice.
A: We do! We currently nominate for Bettering American Poetry, the Pushcart, Best of the Net, the Saboteur Awards, Firecracker Awards, Best Small Fictions, and several more specific awards and anthologies.
A: Not at this time.
A: Yes. We nominate work for Pushcart Prizes and the Best of the Net.
P.S. This questionnaire was filled out by members of the Dead Housekeeping editorial team - Jacqueline Bryant Campbell, Nichole Cordin, Meredith Counts, Jennifer Cumby, Stefanie Le Jeunesse, Asha Rajan and Lisa Schamess.
A: rarely
A: We nominate work for the Best of the Net.
A: We are working toward that and have been seeking out awards our authors might be eligible for and encouraging them to submit their work or submitting their works for them.
A: Yes. We nominate for the Pushcart Prize.
A: Pushcart; Best Non-required Reading; Bettering American Poetry; Best New Poets Series; Lambda Literary Awards, among others.
A: Yes. I nominate work for both the Pushcart Prize and the Best of the Net. Poems from Autumn Sky Poetry DAILY have made it into the finals for Best of the Net.
