Just today Alliance for Independent authors came out with a piece on indie-friendly book awards that some of your writers might find interesting. Alli is very good at vetting stuff like this, so should be trustworthy. Also probably the best organization to join if for any of your subscribers who are or wish to be indie authors. https://selfpublishingadvice.org/indie-author-friendly-book-awards/

Every time I read about what is paid for short stories today, I think of Lucy Maude Montgomery being paid $25 each for her short stories. Think of what $25 was worth back then.

That could pay your rent back then. And it's mind-numbing to think of how many hours go into creating a single story.
