Please join us in congratulating the Sigma Tau Delta 2025 Journal Award Recipients. Annually, Sigma Tau Delta journals publishes two journals to distribute the best writing and criticism produced by active members of the Society.
These journals are refereed, with jurors from around the world selecting works to be published. The journals have had illustrious head judges including Jane Brox, Henri Cole, Jim Daniels, W.D. Earhardt, CJ Hribal, Kyoko Mori, Lisa Russ Spaar, and Mako Yoshikawa.
The best writing is chosen, from around 1,000 submissions, for publication. Not only do these publications go to chapters worldwide, but they also honor the best writing in each category, with six awards totaling $2,500. As of 2016, the Sigma Tau Delta journals are catalogued with the Library of Congress. There is also a reading at the annual convention by any of the published writers in attendance.
