Nominate Your Faves! It's the 2023 Awards Nomination Season

Get Your Vote On!

In 2023, Pulp Literature Press released four jam-packed genre-busting issues, bringing you 365-days worth of fabulous stories, poetry, and artwork. And now, at award season, it’s time to celebrate — and nominate! — our amazing contributors.

As a multi-genre publisher, we try to nominate our authors for as many awards as we can. But for fan-based awards we rely on you, our readers who are also members of organizations like the CSFFA and SFWA, and attendees of World Con, World Fantasy, and other conventions, to nominate your favourites.

To help you sort out eligibility, here’s a list of what we’ve published this year (with the exception of reprints) sorted by genre. Stories that overlap genres are listed more than once.

If you are interested in receiving complimentary review copies of any of these works, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page. And please remember to include Pulp Literature Press for consideration in your respective literary circles!
