Award Eligibility Post 2020
Here’s my last-minute awards eligibility post (with links) for my debut horror collection, one fantasy poem, and one editing credit for a SFF poetry journal. I hope you you’ll consider them when you’re doing your recs this year and remember in some cases multiple recs are important (HWA).

The Limbo Lounge, Porch, Crab, Black Shuck Tavern, The Last Witch in Florida, Cellar Door, Whitechapel, Infection, Janine, Surviving My Parents, This is Not the Glutton Club, and Rise.
My poem, Persephone, was published in the Summer 2020 issue of Kaleidotrope. You can read it here: http://www.kaleidotrope.net/archives/summer-2020/persephone-by-emma-j-gibbon/
