Flights to the World Fantasy Awards
Donation protected
Hello, and thanks for checking out my World Fantasy Awards fund!
I'm a British fantasy writer from Dorset, UK, with short stories in StarShipSofa, Strange Horizons, and F&SF.
I was stunned to find out that my first professional short story, 'Das Steingeschöpf ', has been nominated for a World Fantasy Award in the Best Short Fiction category. The winners will be announced at World Fantasy Con in San Antonio, Texas, on 5 November 2017.
It would mean so much to me to be able to attend the awards ceremony. Not only is it a chance to support my fellow nominees and finally meet many online friends in person, but it is also my first ever award nomination.
But attending World Fantasy Con is expensive.
My biggest expense - and therefore my biggest concern - is the flights. £1,500 would cover return flights for myself and my significant other, which would be a huge relief and allow us to concentrate on other expenses like accommodation, membership, transfers, and food.
Ideally, we would be booking our flights before the end of August, because seats are already limited.
If you can spare even a little to help me attend the World Fantasy Awards, I would be so, so grateful.
Thank you for reading, and have a great day.
