It can now be told, this year’s winners are:
- Filter House by Nisi Shawl
- The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
*confetti!*
Full press release and shortlist are here. Judging the Tiptree was a very intense experience. But in the end I find myself super happy that I and the other jurors were able to honor some amazing books. I will probably not read this much fiction in one year again in my life, though!
I'm writing an Afrofuturist novel set in a matriarchal ancient Egypt where queer women of color rule the sand and sky. Want to know more? Read about it here. Want to help make it happen? Become my patron (& get free fiction)!
Other than the fact that you might want to alter your headline from “Tiptee,” I just dropped in to say thank you for your amazing work in being a juror!
I should not write posts at 3am.
OMFG, Filter House took it!?? That’s brilliant!
Happy, happy, happy for Nisi.
I know exactly what you mean! For me it was an intense and hard but also super amazing process to go through.
Congratulations on surviving the judging!
I have a lot more books to add to my ‘to read’ list now.
