The ReLit Awards, presented to work published by independent presses, has concluded a month-long celebration of its return by announcing its 2020 winners. ReLit returned from a four-year hiatus this month by celebrating the years it missed: 2018, 2019, along with the 2021 awards.
The ReLit Awards don’t offer a cash prize, instead presenting the winners with the ReLit Ring, designed with four dials engraved with the English alphabet which can be spun to spell words. The winners in the categories of poetry, short fiction, and novels follow.
