Awards

This page will be updated as new awards are added.

Our roster of SFR Galaxy Awards. The SFR Galaxy Awards program was conducted for seven years--2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (the last two years hosted by coblogger Laurie A. Green) with a focus on "Standout Books in Science Fiction Romance" and connecting readers with books they'd like to read. Founder and creator Heather Massey made the decision to discontinue the awards after 2018 based on criticism received from an author.
