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.

Recently out:
"Letter To A Christian Nation Not Sworn To The Elder Dark: https://www.sciphijournal.org/index.php/2025/03/27/letter-to-a-christian-nation-not-sworn-to-the-elder-dark/
"Deymons" in Mysterion: https://www.mysteriononline.com/2024/02/deymons.html
Sounds great! I've joined the Discord group and hope to attend the reading (it's 50/50 I'll be away that night).
