I was notified by The New England Quarterly today that my submission for their annual Whitehill Prize, “Republicanism at War – Worcester, Massachusetts and the War of 1812” had been a finalist for this year’s prize.

While I did not win the prize, being a finalist is a humbling honor in its own right, and I am pleased to further share that the NEQ is sending my essay out to reviewers for publication
