Congratulations to Wichita State University's very own writing director Dr. Darren DeFrain for having his story “Juneau” in Variant Literature get nominated for a Pushcart. What's more, his other story “Nativity,” was recently published in Stoneboat Literary Review!

Of particular mention is also Dr. DeFrain's commitment to accessibility with his app Vizling. He recently received an URCA for his work on making graphic narratives accessible for everyone. Fantastic work from a great writer!
