I can’t believe Strange Horizons has not yet won the Hugo Award for best semiprozine. They are a pioneer in the speculative short fiction and poetry space and have been uplifting voices that needed to be heard for decades. Let’s make it their year!

This is the last week of Hugo Award voting and we would like you to consider Strange Horizons for Best Semiprozine. For over 20 years, Strange Horizons has been publishing weekly issues filled with new stories, poems and non-fiction. Here are some more reasons you should vote for us below!

This is one of those stories that stays with you long after you've read it, evoking Ishiguro and Amy Tan at their most somber and tender.

The Locus Award for Best Editor has been around since 1989. Prior to last night, only three people have ever won: Gardner Dozois (17), Ellen Datlow (17), and David G. Hartwell (1). Honored to be among them and still very stunned.

It’s a goddamn shame that short speculative fiction is at its creative peak now, when its markets are in economic shambles. I wish 1920s-80s levels of SFF money were available now to finance beautiful and gay and provocative genre fic, instead of during the libertarian-punches-his-way-to-Mars era.
