Even if you don't intend on voting (you should! It's easy!) the shortlists are an excellent source of new reads, especially if you're having difficulty with mainstream publishers being boringly cis. Each category has a list of amazing indie transfeminine works in whatever particular genre.

Nominations have closed and the shortlists are up, congratulations to all the finalists! You can check out the shortlists here: indietransfemaward.wordpress.com/2026/05/02/a... Or jump straight into voting here, open until May 31: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

20 ballots left to reach our initial goal of 100! Come help us get there 🥰

Bearing down on 80 ballots~ As of now, the categories with the most nominations are TTRPG/VN, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, and Transfem of Colour. If there's transfem art you love from 2025 that belongs to one of the less-represented categories, your nomination could be what gets it shortlisted!

Over 70 ballots submitted now! Just twenty-some votes left to our initial goal of 100! Come be a part of this before it was cool 😎

We're now at over 60 ballots submitted! If you haven't nominated any titles yet, why don't you help us get to 100? 👀

It seems as if there may have been a misunderstanding, and we'd like to head it off: we do not and will never ask anyone to provide us with copies of their work, nor do we gather any personal information on voters. The google form only gives us the book titles and author names you enter.

do you have some really good indie trans fem media you've consumed last year? then you should totally go vote for it in this!! run by Indie trans women for Indie trans women!

Always worth a shout so it can reach more people in the community. Whether it be a book, web serial or poem, let it be known if you read something by a transfem that touched you last year. (That includes if it happens to be one of my stories haha jkjk unless?)

We've had nearly 40 ballots submitted so far, thank you for your interest! If you haven't voted yet, there's still plenty of time left to get in there and root for favourite bit of indie transfem fiction from last year 👀

Just a friendly reminder: only self-published titles (or titles from majority-transfem small presses) that were published within 2025 are eligible!

Thanks for a hundred follows in twelve hours!

Support the best trans feminine authors you know. ✨

Just submitted my ballot, its great that we're getting an awards for indie transfem titles. Avoids the "debut author goes to an established Big 5 author" problem! Go vote!

Heads up folks, voting is live right now! If you want to see your favourite transfem titles from 2025 shortlisted, head to this link and fill out a few fields, couldn't be easier! forms.gle/PvUznNszbhri...
