Most of the books and stories that Otherwise Award jurors read to pick a winner are nominated by authors and readers. We need your suggestions. If you’ve read a work of science fiction or fantasy that explores or expands our notions of gender, please tell us about it by filling out the recommendation form below. If you have more than one, just fill out the form again with a new recommendation and submit it until you’ve told us about them all.

Recommendations close on the 1st of December, 2011.

The 2011 Otherwise Award will be announced at WisCon 36, May 25-28, 2012.

To let us know something related to recommendations that doesn’t fit in the form, please email recommendations@otherwiseaward.org.
