At the end of October, the editor of Lowestoft Chronicle nominated numerous pieces for inclusion in the various Best American Series anthologies. Twenty of so pieces are published in each anthology, and hundreds of submissions are sent each year. Mercifully, the submission process is now an online procedure sparing our editor from the dreaded post office line that inevitably extends to the parking lot.

We always make time to submit entries to those notable annual short story awards. The process has started to shift from nominations sent by mail to the more satisfying email it in kind. Some still require a trip to the bank, though, and then the post office. This week, we made the following selections for The Best American Mystery and Suspense, part of The Best American Series, published annually by Mariner Books (an imprint of HarperCollins).
This November, Lowestoft Chronicle made the following nominations for the Pushcart Prize XLVIII: Best of the Small Presses 2024 Edition. As with hundreds of other online magazines, the annual selection process, onerous printing of documents, and waiting in line at USPS has been a labor of love since our founding. A selfless ritual to honor the brilliant writers who bless our magazine with their fine work. Alas, only six can be chosen.
Lowestoft Chronicle recently nominated a number of pieces for the Best American Series, published annually by Mariner Books (an imprint of HarperCollins). Although The Best American Travel Writing series was brought to a sudden halt in 2021, other titles in the long-running anthology series still accept submissions. These are our nominations for volume 2023 of the Best American Series.
