2023 World Fantasy award finalist

Just found out I’m a finalist for the World Fantasy award with Africa Risen, the anthology I co-edited with Sheree Renee Thomas and Zelda Knight. And this, on the same day as the British Fantasy award. New one for me, two major award nominations on the same day, with the same work. 🙂🥰

This will be my second World Fantasy award nomination in a row, and I’ll be the 1st/only African editor to have won for, & be a best anthology finalist. This, for both the World and British Fantasy awards.

Congrats to my amazing co-editors Sheree Renée Thomas & Author Z. Knight, our publisher & entire Tor.com Publishing team. Also, all the writers and persons who contributed to the book, & the other finalists.

Africa Risen won the Locus award, has been, and had its editor and works be finalists in the Hugo, Nebula, WFA, BSFA, Utopia, and NAACP Image awards. You can get the anthology here
