2017 Recap and List of Awards Eligible Stuff

I'd taken down my blog because for a time, it seemed like I was mostly copying and pasting announcements from Facebook and various writing forums to here. It still seems like I'm doing that, but I'll try to be better about having diverse content going forward.

At any rate, someone asked today if anyone had a year-end list of what's award-eligible. Well, I hadn't actually assembled that yet for the poetry half of things (insert obligatory joke about the Avengers assembling here), but I can certainly provide one!

Below, you'll find most (but not all) of this year's work, organized into poetry categories by length, and below that, a list of my prose work, both the stuff that's Nebula-eligible and that's not.

And, in a fun bit of news, I discovered that I'd actually made my third pro sale and hadn't even known it! I've submitted my documentation for SFWA active status, and should be able to vote in the Nebulas this year! I'm so excited!

Note: Poems with a * are not available online. Please email me or contact me at Facebook if you're interested in reading them!
