WELCOME TO THE 2025 GOLDEN PIGTAIL SMUT AWARDS

I’m your Sommelier of Smut for the evening, Alexa Sommers, and I’ll eventually [buy my books] be bringing you the results you’ve all been waiting for [buy my books].

I assume all the nominees are dressed accordingly in their fanciest sweatpants and anxiously awaiting the results. Free food and beverages can be found in your fridge. Help yourself to anything you would like. Please tip your hostess [buy my books].

This year’s Golden Pigtails received a gooseload (Canadian Measurement) of nominations by some of the best erotic authors in the field. Votes were cast by over a number I am too lazy to check, for a total of what am I, an accountant? votes across 19 Categories.

We also received thousands of mysterious votes left on the porch with bribes attached. Wait… Let’s pretend I didn’t say that.

I want to send a HEARTFELT THANK YOU to everyone who voted and to all the nominees for helping to make this event what it is. Without you, your stories, your votes and your enjoyment of the works these authors produce, we are nothing.

To this year’s first place winners, in order to streamline awards (and because I don’t have contact info for all award winners and see above about being lazy) please email alexa@alexasommers.com with the category/categories you won and your Amazon store of choice (US, UK, CA) before March 21st 2026 to claim your prizes.
