Here goes nothing! This is my very first awards season as a published author, and two of my stories are eligible! Thanks to @elegantliterature.bsky.social for being my springboard. More to come in 2024! (Links in replies)
If you’re excitedly nominating for Nebulas, Hugo’s, or BSFA, remember that reading 10207 will give you a warm fuzzy appreciation for not being a brain in a jar. Free to read @elegantliterature.bsky.socialemmaburnett.uk/awards-eligi...
Check out my latest story, Take away the tears, in @elegantliterature.bsky.socialwww.elegantliterature.com/magazine/
Amazing stories by upcoming talent. No query letters. Guaranteed acceptance/rejection timeline. Above-professional pay.
I've been submitting to Elegant Literature for the past six-ish months, and I've had four stories published in there. If you're an eligible new writer keen to get some experience, I highly recommend joining up for a year and submitting a few stories. They pay pro rates and have a fast turnaround.
I think my favourites this year have been 10207 (@elegantliterature.bsky.social@apexmag.bsky.social@publishedbyjake.bsky.social).
Great to hear!
My novel is being written... slowly... on the third restart, but I think this really is third times the charm... AND I have finally been writing short stories again. Mostly thanks to @elegantliterature.bsky.social for getting me back into querying again after quite a long absence.
It is my first time doing this, but here is my awards eligibility list for 2023. I have 11 short stories that you can nominate for, well, anything you'd like, really. emmaburnett.uk/awards-eligi...
Received the shortlist for this, the @elegantliterature.bsky.social contest. It's been exciting being judge, sifting through the amazing crop of works I have to pick from. (Agonizing too though, a sweet agony) 🤭
