The Ignyte Awards and speculative fiction in general do not exist in a vacuum. While we are here in the spirit of celebration, we are also here in the dual spirits of community and solidarity. Thank you to everyone putting their bodies on the line for the preservation of our collective humanity.

Salute to the community in LA standing on business this weekend to protect their people from state violence and abduction. If you've got it to give, please consider pitching in on a bail fund: www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire...

Or how many FIYAH issues could easily double in size if we had the budget. Y'all writing HEAT.
Lick your wounds. Feel your feels. Love on your story. Dust it off if you received actionable, sensible feedback. Then send that thang right back out there.
You got this. You got this. You got this. 🔥♥️✊🏾

Sometimes the editor *loved* your story. But space constraints. Or it was too similar to another piece for *waves hand* reasons. Or something that had *nothing* to do with your work.
I can't stress how many stories I've reluctantly passed on knowing full well they'll land in other SFF markets. +/
