Awards 2023 Eligbility Post
Alyc Helms
Remembering what came out when, and which category it falls into, can be hard even for the people involved in writing, so we’ve compiled this list of award-eligible works from the past year for the upcoming season. The biggest one is obviously the completion of the Rook & Rose trilogy, but we think there’s a lot of great short and medium-length fiction as well.
