I'm leading a session of expert readings hosted by the Toronto SFF group. This is like feedback sessions you might do for a story you want feedback on, but we're going to be reading and discussing 2-3 award winning or finalist stories (Hugo and Nebula awards not WotF). The idea is to figure out what makes them work and get a better feel for what editors want.
See Discord server on the Meetup:

First Place, Q1 Vol 36
Stories also in Diabolical Plots, Mysterion, others
Recently out:
"The Ones Who Walk Away From New Jerusalem":

Sounds great! I've joined the Discord group and hope to attend the reading (it's 50/50 I'll be away that night).
