The Sidewise Awards for Alternate History were conceived in late 1995 to honor the best allohistorical genre publications of the year. The first awards were announced in summer 1996 and honored works from 1995. The award takes its name from Murray Leinster's 1934 short story "Sidewise in Time," in which a strange storm causes portions of Earth to swap places with their analogs from other timelines.
The Sidewise Awards have been presented annually since 1995 to recognize excellence in alternate historical fiction. Among the 2021 nominees is a short story by Warped Factor’s own Matthew Kresal. Titled Hitchcock's Titanic, and part of the Tales From Alternate Earths III anthology, asking what if Hitchcock had directed Titanic.
