Congratulations to the writers who reached the ZineWest 2024 list. It has been a tough year. The ZineWest selection team works hard to give every entry (and every writer) a fair review and if you don’t have an entry on the list, we wish you to know your work is in good company with well-ranked pieces. When we trialled the short list in a draft publication we exceeded our budget and could not extend further.

Thanks to the reiviewers: J. Anne DeStaic, Mihaela Cristescu, Ruth Wyer, Chris Sammut and ZW Editor Sue Crawford. Also, to Carol Amos (NWG Inc president) and Felicity Amos who tracked and documented our progress. Any entrants not on the list below should have received an invitation to present their work at ZineWest WORD later this year. We are firming up the details and will post them soon.
