"This email is to let you know that your submission, "Little Ghosts by Esos Ridley" was actually on the shortlist for the award (one of the ten stories given to judges). Usually those who are on the shortlist, but don't make the finalist list are not told how close they came, but when Lois McMaster Bujold found out your submission didn't make the top five finalists, she wanted me to send you a personal message with a note from her:
"Hi there --
I just wanted you to know how much I particularly enjoyed your story "Little Ghosts". I found it slyly humorous, deeply thoughtful, and well constructed, with something worth saying and said well.
Please keep writing and submitting!
best regards, Lois McMaster Bujold"
