Happy news - The Saboteur Awards are open for nominations and our debut anthology, Stories About Penises, is eligible! We would love to have your support. If you haven't read the anthology, you can take a look at our reviews and see what you think: www.gutspublishing.com/reviews
The last day for nominations is 6 April.
Here's how it works. A minimum of three nominations (i.e 1 nomination in at least 3 categories) are required for your entry to count. Nominations are for works published or performed after 30 March 2019 and before 30 March 2020. There are guidelines for each category on the nominations form: https://form.jotform.com/200742623915351.
In the 'best anthology' category, if you feel so inclined, please write: Stories About Penises, Guts Publishing (Nov 2019). Then you'll need to nominate in 2 other categories. I've made some recommendations below. At the bottom of the nominations form click submit.
'Best spoken word regular night' - Liars' League. This literary event is hosted by one of our contributors Liam Hogan ('Better Babies') and would make a decent shout if you're so inclined. And you can justify your choice even if you've never been by visiting their website and listening/reading/watching all the previous events! (https://liarsleague.typepad.com/)
'Most innovative publisher' - Galley Beggar Press. UK independent publisher with a range of innovative titles, including Lucy Ellman's Ducks, Newburyport - shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize and winner of the 2019 Goldsmiths Prize. (www.galleybeggar.co.uk)
