6 more days to apply for an Otherwise Fellowship!

Past fellows were glad it "gave me motivation to keep trying again and again" and "provided a validation both for my own work, and also for the idea that this type of writing is both valued and needed".

Otherwise supports the very sort of fiction that we need today more than ever: visions of possibilities through the fog of the present. Please donate to our year-end fundraising campaign:

RE: @OtherwiseAward@wandering.shop

4 days left to nominate books, stories, poems, music, video, fanfic, social media posts, or any other form of #SpeculativeFiction for this year's Otherwise Award jury.

Anyone can make a recommendation, and it's fine to nominate your own work.
