Greetings, gentle reader.

It’s Hugo Award season, so we’re happy to present you with a list of everything Shimmer published in 2017. Shimmer only publishes short stories–we do not traffic in the tastiness of novelettes or novellas.

Authors to consider for Campbell Award nomination are: Lucia Iglesias, L.M. Davenport, and Emily Lundgren. Shimmer is eligible as a Semiprozine. Cover artist Sandro Castelli is eligible as Fan (?!?) Artist, and our editor E. Catherine Tobler is eligible as Editor (Short Form).
