Fabulous news, Space Unicorns! “The Teleporting Disaster Fairy” by Rati Mehrotra is a 2026 WSFA Small Press Award Finalist! Congratulations to Rati and to all of the finalists!

From their press release:

The award honors the efforts of small press publishers in providing a critical venue for short fiction in the area of speculative fiction, and showcases the best original short fiction published by small presses in the previous year (2025). An unusual feature of the selection process is that the voting is done with the identity of the author and publisher hidden so that the final choice is based solely on the quality of the story.

The winner is chosen by members of the Washington Science Fiction Association (www.wsfa.org), and the award will be presented at their annual convention, Capclave (www.capclave.org), held this year on October 2-4, at the Rockville Hilton & Executive Meeting Center, 1750 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.
