In particular, please nominate FIYAH instead. For more information please read their eligibility post.

Still want to recognize our work? Consider giving one of your nomination slots for our indefatigable Host Alasdair Stuart for Best Fan Writer. He was deservedly a finalist for the last two years, and should go on the list again. The Hugo Award Book Club makes an impassioned and thorough case for one of your nominations here: http://hugoclub.blogspot.com/2018/10/an-appreciation-of-alasdair-stuart.html
