Annual Readers Poll

I just got an invitation from Critters/Critique.org (formerly Preditors and Editors –see below), so I entered Taboo Tech.

Critters / Critique.org is once again happy to host the Annual Readers Poll. (Formerly co-hosted by P&E, but they appear to have gone dormant.) Good luck to all entrants!

The Readers’ Poll honors print & electronic publications published during 2019. Click here for the official rules.

The poll opens Dec. 24 this year (through Jan. 14). The poll is open! The poll closes in: 19 day(s) (based on your system clock) Check back for final results to be posted soon after the poll closes!

Newest categories: Magical Realism, Positive Future Fiction (novel & short story)

While you’re waiting, check out the Best Ever Written Readers’ Poll (ongoing).

Note your name and email address will be required to vote to prevent fraud. Entries for each category are listed in alphabetical order. Add a new entry using the row at the bottom. Voters are automatically entered into a drawing for prizes from our sponsors. Please check your vote for accuracy before submitting, as we regret we cannot fix typos! You may report errors here but generally only errors affecting the scores will be dealt with, after the voting ends. [Prior years’ final tallies are here]
