Announcing Guest Editors for Issue 9

Greetings, Betwixt readers and submitters!

As we prepare for the launch of issue 8 and the beginning of the July-August submission period, I’d like to announce that issue 9 (Fall 2015) will feature the guest-editing talents of my friends and colleagues Jensen Toperzer and Bethany Zaiatz. Jensen and Bethany will be reading submissions throughout July and August, and I hope many of your stories will knock their socks off!

The submission address and guidelines will remain the same. If you have a general question about Betwixt, please email us at info@betwixtmagazine.com.

Happy July!

2015 Hugo Award Eligibility

The nomination period for the 2015 Hugo Awards has just opened, so this seems like an excellent time to remind our readers of the many Hugo-eligible stories we published in 2014. All stories belong in the Short Story category unless otherwise noted.

The following stories are eligible for the 2015 Hugo Award:

“Princess Cosima and the Thousand Cats” by Sarah L. Byrne

“Speaking to Skull Kings” by Emily B. Cataneo

“Slomo” by Vajra Chandrasekera

“The Literal Forest” by Nino Cipri

“Blade” by David Cleden

“The Painting of Master Ilios” by Marie Clementel

“The Stone Horse of Flores” by Michael J. DeLuca

“A Ring of Red and White” by Willow Fagan

“The Dragon in the Wardrobe” by AJ Fitzwater

“The Book of the Lost” by Sharon J. Gochenour (eligible in the Novelette category)

“A Spotter’s Guide” by Eric Gregory

“The Many-Named” by Crystal Lynn Hilbert

“Lives of the Elementary Particles” by C. W. Johnson

Betwixt itself is eligible for the award for Best Semiprozine (see semiprozine.org for more information about this somewhat confusing category), and editor Joy Crelin is eligible for Best Editor (Short Form).
