Deadline: open

Reading Fee: none
Accepts (genre): science fiction or fantasy story or novel that expands or explores our understanding of gender
Prize/Payment: undisclosed
In February of 1991 at WisCon (the world’s only feminist-oriented science fiction convention), award-winning SF author Pat Murphy announced the creation of the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, an annual literary prize for science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender. Pat created the award in collaboration with author Karen Joy Fowler. The aim of the award is not to look for work that falls into some narrow definition of political correctness, but rather to seek out work that is thought-provoking, imaginative, and perhaps even infuriating. The Tiptree Award is intended to reward those women and men who are bold enough to contemplate shifts and changes in gender roles, a fundamental aspect of any society.
We need your suggestions. Have you read a science fiction or fantasy story or novel that expands or explores our understanding of gender? Send the title, author and publication information to:
