I don't know how everyone is making their awards eligibility graphics look so nice, because this took me about an hour.
Anyway, here are my awards-eligible stories from 2025.

Anyway, here are my awards-eligible stories from 2025.
Incredibly excited to share that my short story, ‘A Most Peculiar Condition,’ has been published in the latest issue of NonBinary Review, the award-winning lit journal by Zoetic Press. Exploring the nature of things we ‘inherit’ from our families, ‘Heredity’ is available in PDF, Kindle, digital downloads, and paperback copies.
E-copies are $5: https://www.zoeticpress.com/branded-merch/nonbinary-review-issue-36-heredity
Paperback is $17: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D5M69VGQ?ref_=dbs_m_mng_wim_calw_tpbk_34&storeType=ebooks&qid=1638465481&sr=8-3
As an independent publisher (that pays contributors!), they are exclusively supported through purchases so this piece will not be made available online. ❤️
What we know of history is likely a very small, highly curated set of stories, many of which are only extrapolations from archeological info
Here's the official post! My story "Five Books Unreturned When the Library Vanished" is out in NonBinary Review's latest issue.
"Five Books Unreturned When the Library Vanished" is:
exactly what it says on the tin
a love letter to libraries
narrated by a collection of books
a story about censorship
a story about resistance
writeblr intro
I'm Ellis Nye, and I'm a sci-fi and fantasy writer, with occasional elements of historical fiction, horror, and romance. Right now, I'm focusing on short stories.
Five of my short stories are available to read:
Free:
The Last Great Repair Tech of the American Midwest: SciFi. A story about love and community in the midst of an apocalypse of planned obsolescence, framed as an obituary. You can go to this page to buy the entire issue, read the story for free here (updated version!), or listen to it for free here. You can find a brief review of the story here.
Invasibility: SciFi. Wouldn't it be funny if someone was out killing invasive plants in the woods and a space alien rocked up and asked them what they were doing? You can download a compilation of Worlds of Possibility stories here for free; "Invasibility" is towards the end.
Tuesday: SciFi. A dying soldier reflects on his relationship with the alien he's bonded to. You can go to this page to buy the entire issue or read the story for free here. You can find a brief review of the story here.
Purchase Required:
Shelf-stable: SciFi. In a transitional post-post-apocalypse, Ada dreads the arrival of the witch who regularly visits her town. You can buy the issue of Solarpunk Magazine (@solarpunkmagazine on here) that it appears in here.
Five Books Unreturned When the Library Vanished: Fantasy. An authoritarian regime is writing certain books out of existence. You can buy the issue of NonBinary Review that it appears in here, and if you scroll down to my name in the list of authors you can read an interview with me.
I write:
Retellings--mythology, fairy tales, folklore, ballads, classic lit, and more
Small, quiet stories happening in the middle of the action
Dialogue-heavy stories
"Found fiction" (Archive of the Odd introduced me to this term and I love it!)
Disabled characters
Queer characters
Stuff that I hope makes you go "wait that was kind of fucked up" half an hour after reading it
Stuff that makes me cry
Stories that did, actually, come to me in a dream
Gross stuff
I'm very into worldbuilding, but my current focus on short stories tends to limit me there somewhat. I do plan to go back to writing novels, with an eventual focus on getting published, but that's not in the cards right now.
I also have a Bluesky with this same username.
