Awards Eligibility 2022

It has been a BUSY year for Ye Olde Time Lord, complete with my debut novel and debut games publication, and a bunch of shorter works on top of it.

If you’d consider the works below for your favorite SFF awards, I’d be very grateful! They’re eligible across a variety of awards, including (but not limited to) the Auroras, Ignytes, Nebulas, World Fantasy Awards, Locus Awards and more.

Signal boosting on social media and upvoting on the SFWA reading lists is very helpful and also appreciated!
