Recently received another SF award! The story Steamer Plane, is a Writers of the Future, Honourable Mention 4th Quarter, 2015.
It’s always great to get this in an email:
Your story has been judged and is an Honorable Mention for the 4th quarter. (entry between 1 July through 30 September 2015).
OTOH: Strange Horizons had one of my stories for nearly 6 months and sent me an ‘oops, it must have gotten lost in the email’ response complete with copy of email, carefully undated.
Sometimes you’re winning, with a hot car in a daring color, driving down Main Street – thanks WOTF – and sometimes you’re not…(the other guys).
This is my 2nd WOTF win this year: Absinthe Kind won
Honorable Mention for the 3rd quarter of the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future contest. (entry between 1 April and 30 June 2015).
I always wonder if I qualify, but then I decide that I do because all of my short story sales have been to non-pro markets. And that pesky novel isn’t even done yet, let alone sold!
