BEST OF THE NET NOMINATIONS : 2020
It’s nomination season - our first - and we are so excited to announce The Racket Journal’s noms for the 2020 Best of the Net awards.
Know this: it wasn’t an easy decision. Every piece that goes into The Racket Journal is beloved by our small, but crack, team of readers and picking between them was the equivalent of deciding on which of our children, if we had them, we’d send into the ominous gladiatorial pits of the soon-to-come dystopian reality.
It was, to say the least, a hard go.
But we did it, and we are so excited to announce our ten authors nominated in the categories of poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
