Here's the ballot for the 2024 Aurora short story category -- unlike some SS ballots, most of these can't be found for free online so stay tuned for the voter's package to access them (and it's only $10 for a membership if you still haven't done that!)

This is true! Members get access to a digital voters' package full of what nominators considered the most noteworthy Canadian speculative fiction of the year. And an annual CSFFA membership is only $10.

Did you publish a short story in 2023 that included arthropods? Are they central to the story? Did you know that I am editing “Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction”? Did you know that you or your publisher can submit the story for consideration until April 2nd? 🪰🪳🦀🦞🐝🐞🦋
