Authors of other stories entered in this year’s competition should consider their work released for submission to other markets. Thank you for taking part, and good luck with your writing.
There are no authors names attached to the stories at present. That’s because our anonymous judging process is still underway.
The James White Award will announce the final shortlist for this year’s competition in a few weeks.
Aren’t we due for a shortlist by now? Eastercon’s only four days away!
If the judges can’t decide, then take all the manuscripts and throw them down some stairs. First six to the bottom are the shortlist.
Colum
Patience! It’s coming.
Actually, it’s already up.
I hope you used a suitably auspicious flight of stairs.
