We are pleased to announce the shortlisted stories for this year’s James White Award. The six stories, chosen from almost three hundred entries, are:

• Better Lost Than Loved – Bryn Fazakerley
• Bug on Bug – Mica Scotti Kole
• Digital Nomad – Koji A Dae
• Limitations – David Maskill
• The Last Words of Harry Niffen – Stephen Cashmore
• Property Crime – Michael Donoghue

Congratulations to the winning authors, commiserations to those who haven’t made it this far – there were some very good stories that didn’t quite make the cut.

The winning story will be announced next week, Thursday 5 September.
