Congratulations to the other winners and finalists - I think we all agree that being on the Ignyte shortlist is the most joyous of honours, for what it stands for in the genre.

Regarding the availability of THE SENTENCE outside India, expect some news very soon - later this week, in fact. (2/2)

Had a few hours to process this, and wanted to say thank you to the jurors and voters of the @theignyteawards.bsky.social for seeing - and honouring - this little anarchist-inflected SF novel, from the list of a fiercely progressive & independent Indian publisher ( @westlandbooks.bsky.social).
