GUIDE FOR FICTION-LOVERS READING POETRY FOR THE FIRST TIME:
So you've only read fiction your whole life, and now people are yelling at you to nominate poems.

Nebula Ballots are due Sunday, March 1st. This is the the first year for the poetry and comics categories. If you have not submitted already, here is the link: www.sfwa.org/2025-nebula-....

SFWA's funding drive is closing down and the amazing Veronica Roth has pledged a 3x match. SFWA's doing some incredible advocacy for writers in this crazy industry, and 3x is good math. Do with that what you will. www.sfwa.org/winter-world...

We have a draw for 325th year in a row! Join us again next year!" End. Bonus alt-text Content: Fun fact!

This is like $800 away from hitting goal 2. Today's the last day to get it there. Let's go! #booksky
