[Catherine Chandler]

I know for a fact that Sphereans (including myself) are wondering (on social media and elsewhere) why there have been no announcements of the results of last year's Able Muse Write Prize and Able Muse Book Award.



I believe the deadline for submissions was originally March 31, 2024, but later extended by one week (I may be mistaken), with the results typically being announced either in September, October, or at the very latest, November.


Questions: Have long- and/or short-lists been determined? Are announcements forthcoming? Will these contests continue this year?



Some candor and clarity on the above would be greatly appreciated.
