View submission: Best Books of 2024 MEGATHREAD
It doesn't make much sense to have a mega category for Short Story Collection/Graphic Novel/Essay/Poetry[1]. I'm guessing that each of these are assumed to have low interaction or something and are orphaned into this sort of bulk bin for convenience. Still, they're all quite different from one another, and moreover, marketing budgets alone for the most visible short story and essay collections (how is essay not nonfiction?) all but guarantee that those nominated works would receive the most attention. Poetry—the majority of which is published via small press each year, and the remainder only shares a fraction of big five publishing catalogs—is likely to be lost completely within this mix.
