The Wulf Pack Writers group enjoyed another spectacular year in the Critters Readers’ Poll for works published in 2024. Thousands from around the world vote in these polls every year. I am proud to say our Wulf Pack was awarded Best of the Year awards in TEN categories! There’s a total of forty-one categories to vote on, so our modest writing group won Best of the Year in almost one quarter of Critters’ voting categories! Way to go, Wulf Pack Writers!
Special kudos to David Hankins for winning Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel of 2024 for Death and the Taxman, and for winning both Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Story and Best Positive Future Short Story of 2024 for “To Catch a Foo Fighter.” Candice Lisle is to be commended for “The Telltale Cricket” which won Best Horror Short Story of 2024! Each of these categories are challenging to win because of the many nominations, some by powerful publishers with huge followings. We’re the little train that could!
But each and every member of the Wulf Pack Writers group deserves special commendation for winning Best Writing Workshop for the SIXTH year in a row! There were heavy hitters in this category—there always are—and we appreciate the excellent work these writing groups do to educate and support writers. But I would be remiss if I did not congratulate our members who win this award as a group year after year for the sterling reputation they have built in our speculative fiction community that make our writing group shine! We live by our motto: “For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”
GO WULF PACK!!!
