WSFA Small Press Award Finalists Announced
The Washington, DC Science Fiction Association (WSFA) has announced the finalists for the 2020 WSFA Small Press Award for Short Fiction.
The award recognizes the work of small press publishers that provide a venue for short form speculative fiction and showcases work published in the previous year. The final ballot process involves blind voting, with the identity of the author and publisher hidden so that choices are made based solely on the quality of the story.
