THE 2019 PULP FACTORY AWARDS BALLOT

I am foregoing my weekly Progress Report in favor of a

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

After much consideration and debate among its membership, the finalists for the 2019 Pulp Factory Awards, honoring the best Pulp material of 2018, have been announced.

The actual ballot is open to the public until the end of voting on FRIDAY MARCH 15!

You can make a selection in any or all of the five categories: Best Pulp Novel, Best Pulp Cover, Best Pulp Short Story, Best Pulp Interior Illustrations (and yes, some publishers are carrying on this classic pulp tradition of spot pictures to add an extra layer of detail to their products), and Best Pulp Anthology.

BUT ONLY ONE BALLOT PER PERSON!

Considering I know several of the candidates involved, I'm not saying anything else except you can click on the link in the original press release below to vote and I'm going back to writing now.
Take care.
