We've just learned that the Endicott Studio's Journal of Mythic Arts has won The World Fantasy Award -- which is a very lovely way to end its eleven-year run (with the Summer 2008 issue being our last). We won in the "Nonprofessional" category -- perhaps because the Endicott Studio is a nonprofit organization. (All profits made by JoMA and other Endicott projects go to charities for abused, homeless, and at-risk children.) But however they categorize us, we're delighted. We're very grateful to the WFA judges, to all the good folks who have worked on and contributed to JoMA, and to the fantasy community for supporting Endicott and mythic arts.
A full list of winners and nominees can be found here. Congratulations to everyone.
I have only recently discovered JoMA and Endicott Studio, and I feel that it is helping me reach into myself, allowing me to figure out what has been missing in my life. Everything I read and look at here makes me feel increcibly excited. I am sad that JoMA is discontinuing, but I understand and appreciate the reasons why!
Thank you so much for all of this, and thank you for leaving the archives online.
Best of luck!
