It&#8217;s an interesting exercise in pride, in humility. It always feels a little big odd to say, &#8220;Here are the things I created last year &#8212; do you think they are exceptional? Worthy of award nomination?&#8221; It&#8217;s awkward and just on the edge of feeling boastful, which is absolutely not what I&#8217;m about. And I always, always, always have to resist the urge to be self-effacing or add a bunch of explanations or hedges (does one actually &#8216;add hedges&#8217; if one is hedging things? No, I suppose not&#8230; but I&#8217;m going to leave it because it&#8217;s mildly amusing to imagine LOL).<\/p>\n<p>At the exact same time when I create these blog posts, when I list out some of the things I accomplished in the year that just past, I&#8217;m usually really proud.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s that exact same feeling this year, of course.<\/p>\n<p>So while recognizing this is a little awkward, but with a lot of pride, let me share some of the things I had published last year which may be eligible for award nomination:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anthologies I Edited \/ Related Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Trenchcoats, Towers and Trolls<\/em>, World Weaver Press, January 2022*<br \/>\n<em>Untethered<\/em>, Poise and Pen Publishing, March 2022<br \/>\n<em>Pirating Pups<\/em>, Tyche Books, Summer 2022<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these anthologies being eligible for awards in their own right, I am also eligible in &#8216;short form editor&#8217; categories for the work I did on the stories they contain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cTrue Story\u201d,\u00a0<em>Neon Magazine<\/em>, March 2022<br \/>\n\u201cMinnows\u201d,\u00a0<em>Neon Magazine,<\/em>\u00a0March 2022<br \/>\n\u201cForeshadowing\u201d,\u00a0<em>Neon Magazine<\/em>, March 2022*<br \/>\n\u201cPoltergeist\u201d,\u00a0<em>Star*Line<\/em>, March 2022*<br \/>\n\u201cHaunted House\u201d,\u00a0<em>The Dread Machine<\/em>, June 2022<br \/>\n\u201cThe Afghan\u201d,\u00a0<em>Polar Starlight<\/em>\u00a0#7, December 2022<\/p>\n<p>The first three poems on that list are not speculative in nature, but the last three are.<\/p>\n<p>It was a weird year last year, because I started releasing things&#8211;complete books&#8211;exclusively to my Patreon. That definitely changes the eligibility landscape quite a lot. I\u2019m choosing not to list the things which were originally published to my Patreon because I suspect they would tend to fall in between the rules of most awards.<\/p>\n<p>If you are nominating for any major awards (and I count the Auroras among those) and would like to read and consider any of my eligible works, get in touch and we\u2019ll make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year I write and share a list of my work from the previous year that is award eligible.
