  The Kalanithi Award is accepting submissions of unpublished short stories, essays and poems that address patients and providers facing chronic or life limiting illness.

The award is named for Paul Kalanithi, author of When Breath Becomes Air, who used creative writing to search for meaning through his illness.

The contest, hosted by Stanford’s Palliative Care Section, is open through December 1, 2018. Three winners will receive an honorarium and, subject to editorial review, publication in Pegasus Review.
