WSFA Small Press Award
In
2007, the Washington Science Fiction
Association inaugurated the WSFA Small Press Award. The
award is open to works of imaginative literature (science fiction,
fantasy, horror, etc.) published in English for the first time
in the previous calendar year. Furthermore, the Small Press
Award is limited to works under 20,000 words in length that
were published by a small press. The nominees are narrowed down
by a panel elected by the membership of WSFA, and these finalists
are then judged by the entire membership of WSFA in order to
select a winner. Throughout the process, the author and publisher
of each story are kept anonymous, and the winning story and
its author are announced at Capclave,
the WSFA convention held in the D.C. area each October. |

The first award was presented at the 2007 Capclave in Rockville Maryland and WSFA looks forward
to continuing this tradition for many years to come. See our Past Winners page
for full details of the winner and the other finalists.
