Year 2 here at FIYAH has been huge! In 2018, we published 17 pieces of original prose by Black writers, as well as 6 poems, and cover art by 4 phenomenal Black artists. We also introduced our POB Score project over the summer. We were awarded the Barrelhouse Amplifier Grant, our 2017 cover artist Geneva Benton won the Best Fan Artist Hugo, and we pulled down a World Fantasy Award!
This post is here to help you out should you want to nominate FIYAH or any of its components for the upcoming award season.
FIYAH Literary Magazine is eligible for 2018 semiprozine award categories.
