It is our pleasure (and, indeed, our honor) to nominate Riddled with Arrows contributors for literary prizes. Although the process of narrowing our rosters of masterful poets and prose authors down to just a select few is extremely challenging, the following works were chosen for excellence in their respective genres as well as for being notable examples of the meta-arts.
