WSFA announces the finalists for the 2023 WSFA Small Press Award for Short Fiction

The Washington (DC) Science Fiction Association (WSFA) is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2023 WSFA Small Press Award for Short Fiction:

“Ashes of a Cinnamon Fire” by R. Z. Held, Shattering The Glass Slipper, ed. by Crystal Sarakas and Rhondi Salsitz, Zombies Need Brains, LLC (June 2022); and

“At the Lighthouse, Out by the Othersea” by Juliet Kemp, Uncanny Magazine, Issue 47 (July/August 2022) ed. by Lynne M. Thomas and Michael Damian Thomas; and

“The Dragon Project” by Naomi Kritzer, Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 186 (March 2022) ed. by Neil Clarke; and

“Not the Youngest, Nor the Prettiest, But Someone Else” by Alyse Winters, Shattering The Glass Slipper, ed. by Crystal Sarakas and Rhondi Salsitz, Zombies Need Brains, LLC (June 2022); and

“Possession” by Taylor Jones, Reckoning, #6 (September 25, 2022), ed. by Aicha Martine Thiam and Gabriela Santiago; and

“Simons, Far and Near” by Ana Gardner, Cast of Wonders, episode 485 (February 6, 2022) ed. by Katherine Inskip; and

“This Living Hand” by Marie Brennan, Sunday Morning Transport, (February 13, 2022) ed. by Julian Yap and Fran Wilde; and

“In the Belly of the Whale” by Angus McIntyre, Trenchcoats, Towers, and Trolls: Cyberpunk Fairy Tales, ed. by Rhonda Parrish, World Weaver Press (January 2022).

The award honors the efforts of small press publishers in providing a critical venue for short fiction in the area of speculative fiction. It showcases the best original short fiction published by small presses in the previous year (2022). An unusual feature of the selection process is that the voting is done with the identity of the author and publisher hidden so that the final choice is based solely on the quality of the story.

The winner is chosen by members of the Washington Science Fiction Association (www.wsfa.org), and the award will be presented at their annual convention, Capclave (www.capclave.org), held this year on September 29 – October 1, 2023 at the Rockville Hilton & Executive Meeting Center, 1750 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.

IN PERSON:
The Pound House is available for an in-person meeting, however, I will would like everyone to know that we were outside of our bubble through Tuesday, July 4th so if anyone is concerned for themselves, you may want to stay virtual. As usual, we will test on Friday.
