2020 Eligibility Post

bibliography

I've never done one of these posts before. Each year when it's award season I'd kinda just turtle up out of embarrassment. Maybe quietly submit my work on my own steam to places like Aurealis that allow self-submission. Asking for other people to consider my stuff though? That always just felt so weird. Impostor syndrome, maybe.

In any case, a few people have encouraged me to just do the thing this year, so. Here's what I published this year, which might be eligible for your consideration.
