Recommend works for the Otherwise Award by Nov. 15!
Hi, everyone. Reminder to recommend works of speculative fiction published in 2024 that explore or expand our understanding of gender. (Works can be books, stories, music, video, fanfic, social media posts, or any other form of speculative fiction.)
The form will be open until November 15 at 23:59 US Pacific time.
After that, we’ll switch over to a new 2025 recommendations form; anything recommended after November 15 will be considered with 2025 works.

While I’m here, a couple of notes about recent events:
Sympathies to everyone; I know this is a rough time for a lot of people. Resistance can take many forms, one of which is pushing back against dominant paradigms. Let’s keep reading and writing and celebrating speculative fiction and expanding ideas about gender, along with the other work and play we need to nurture a better tomorrow.
Also, we’re still figuring out what the US election results mean for the award; if there are any big changes, we’ll announce them.
