It’s eligibility post season again?
2023 has both gone by in a blink and lasted forever, which I suppose is true of most years. I had two short stories published this year, and I’d love for you to consider them in the coming awards season.
“Who The Final Girl Becomes” (7199 words), a story about what happens to the final girl after the slasher film ends, was published in Nightmare Magazine in February. This is my first (published) foray into horror, which was super exciting!
To follow that with something lighter, “Spaceship Joyride” (4234 words), was published in Lightspeed Magazine in June. This short story is about two boys, a stolen spaceship, and the silly, all-consuming nature of teenage crushes.
This is also my second (and final) year of eligibility for the Astounding Award.
That’s it for me, but expect more in 2024!
