DMLA is proud to congratulate the following clients on the recognition of their talent as nominees of the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction :
* Vajra Chandrasekera for RAKESFALL
* Nalo Hopkinson for BLACKHEART MAN
* Eden Robins for REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE
This award is intended to recognize those writers Ursula spoke of in her 2014 National Book Awards speech—realists of a larger reality, who can imagine real grounds for hope and see alternatives to how we live now.
This year, eight shortlisted books were chosen by the Ursula K. Le Guin Foundation following a public nomination process.
