    About this ebook

  • A necessary, unprecedented new collection, published in a landmark publishing partnership with PEN America, featuring the best debut short fiction published in the US and Canada each year. PEN America will award the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers prize of $2000 to 12 writers, and Catapult will publish the dozen stories in a gorgeously designed anthology.

  • Each yearly anthology's winners are selected by three high-profile judges; stories for the inaugural edition were chosen by Kelly Link (Get in Trouble, Magic for Beginners), Marie-Helene Bertino (2 A.M. at the Cat's Pajamas), and Nina McConigley (Cowboys and East Indians).

  • The PEN America/Catapult anthology is aspirational and inspirational for anyone working hard to be a writer, and a rare opportunity for debut short fiction writers to reach a wider audience; it will appeal to MFA students, aspiring writers, and other lovers of literary fiction.

  • This anthology is not only a bold endorsement of fresh, raw, and risky new voices, but also a thoughtfully selected, deliberately arranged compendium for those wanting to know what's next in the literary world.

  • In a time where keeping up with everything published online and in print feels impossible, this anthology champions and amplifies the essential contributions literary magazines make to the literary ecosystem and provides a unique survey of stories from the most important and beloved journals on the continent.

  • The judges of the 2017 edition are interrogating and expanding the idea of diversity in literature; there is an impressive mélange of regions, ethnicities, genres, and styles, taken from large and small journals alike.

  • Each story is framed by an introduction by the publication's editor explaining why they nominated the story for the prize, giving writers who aspire to be published insight into the editors' thought processes.
