Goodmorning, Fam!

I am reaching out today with an ask. It is time to nominate books for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize and I would love it if y'all would go and nominate our baby: Cry, Voidbringer for the award.

For most awards, readers don't have a way to nominate books directly. But for this one, nominations are open to everyone.

Here is what you need to know:

You can nominate Cry, Voidbringer by going to THIS LINK and filling out their form. Here is what they will ask for:

Obviously, the most important part of this form is the area dedicated to explaining why the book should be considered. I can't help you there. That has to come from you. I don't know what your experience with this story was or how it spoke to you or even what themes stood out to you. So share your experience with the story honestly.

The rest of it I can help with! I want this to be as easy as possible for you, so I am listing the ISBN and publication date below so that you don't have to go look them up!

ISBN: 978-1964721521

Date of Publication: 10.28.25

Is this book a work of translation: No

The rest of the form is pretty standard They want to know whether you're an author, editor, reader, etc and whether you are nominating the book as a fan of Elaine's work or as one of her colleagues. That is all required to complete the nomination. Everything else is more about noting what demographics enjoyed the story, and that is all optional, so fill that out if you want to.

This is an easy process and will only take a couple of minutes, but I am extremely grateful for every single one of you who fill it out anyway! Thank you for your love for this story and for how invested you have been in helping Elaine to succeed. We appreciate you and I am excited for the possibility of this book receiving nominations for this prestigious award!

Love yall!
