Nerds of a Feather Contributor 2025 Awards Eligibility

Awards season is well underway! Hopefully you're finding our Recommended Reading parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 useful in your potential nominations.

While we remind you that Nerds of a Feather itself is recused in the Best Fanzine category, we would be remiss if we did not highlight that we are a flock of many participants, each of whom is eligible for their work with us and, because they're a multi-talented lot, elsewhere.

As such, for your consideration, you can find here the list of all of our contributors who provided work in the 2024 period, and for some of them, specific selections they would like to highlight. While this is predominantly in the Best Fan Writer category, there are some additional selections, so do keep an eye out for those.
