Congrats Pen/Dau Prize Noms!

Congratulations to the writers we nominated for the 2019 Pen/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers. Cross your fingers for these three stories:

“Real People” by Jill Caugherty

“The Well in the Jungle” by Salin Shakya (forthcoming in October)

"Whatever They Told You Not to Be" by Natalie Hernandez (forthcoming in December)

The Pen/Dau Prize honors 12 authors whose debut short story is published in a literary journal in the past year. The winners are published in The PEN America Best Debut Short Stories by Catapult and awarded $2,000. Not too shabby! 805 is proud to publish debut and emerging writers and to nominate our writers to prestigious prize such as this one.
