Most semiprozine work is volunteer or a low honorarium. And invisible. One of the only ways these teams access recognition is through awards. I understand limiting trophies—I would stand behind a limit of primary recipients to protect budget. But listing a name? Costs nothing. Means everything.

I wish we could lean on softness in publishing more often. We are so cynical. For good reason. So much work, little reward. Bad actors taking advantage of dreams. I gave up full time pub years ago bc I couldn’t build a life on the arguably great work I had. But we DESERVE softness and optimism.

And finally the #2026IgnyteAwards Community Award for Outstanding Efforts in Service of Inclusion and Equitable Practice in Genre are: @augursociety.bsky.social @jasonsanford.bsky.social @sistahscifi.bsky.social @strangehorizons.bsky.social @willthisbeaproblem.bsky.social

for years, I admired from afar as @augursociety.bsky.social transformed the sff spaces I knew for the better with dedication and enthusiasm. since joining, it's been an immense gift to get to learn from and grow with this (enormous!) team. congrats to all the fellow nominees making waves 🌊

Alongside my team of 40+, I am delighted to be a finalist for the Ignyte Community Award 🔥 Many moons ago, three gender-non-conforming people founded this space—and in the decade since, 100s of people across intersections have volunteered and published with us. We host the community; they are it.
