LONGLISTED SEMIFINALISTS
We here at Alternating Current feel that it is highly important to reward our authors with every possible chance for recognition of their fine crafts. We are pleased to announce our semifinalist longlist for The 2016 Charter Oak Award for Best Historical, honoring the independent press’ best writing on historical topics. The pieces are judged blindly by an external panel to determine the semifinalists, and a finalist shortlist will be announced in January. From there, first, second, and third place winners are presented, followed by nine notable mentions, all of whom will have pieces featured on The Spark throughout the year, among other prizes for the different places. Additionally, all semifinalists will be published in the forthcoming history-themed literary journal, Footnote #2, due Spring 2016. We wish these authors the best of luck in the award process.
