SF/F Authors/Editors/Artists 2011 Award Pimpage Post
Posted on January 4, 2011 Posted by John Scalzi 149 Comments
As I posted my own SF/F Award-eligible works yesterday (see here if you somehow missed it), I figured I’d also open up a thread for other creative folks to note their own eligible works from the last year to Whatever’s readership. Because, hey, the more you know about what’s out there, the more informed your nominations will be, and that’s a good thing.
So, science fiction and fantasy authors, editors, artists: Tell us what works of yours are eligible for award consideration this year.
And now: Rules!
1. This thread is only for authors/artists/editors to promote their own works (or in the case of editors, the works they have edited). If you’re not an author/artist/editor promoting your own work, don’t post on the thread. I’ll be doing a general recommendation thread later on. Any comment not by an author/artist/editor promoting his/her own work will get snipped out. This is to keep the thread useful both to creators and to folks thinking about nominations.
2. Also, to be clear, this thread is for works of or relating to science fiction and fantasy. This includes Young Adult works and SF/F fandom-related works. If you’re not sure your particular work is eligible for awards this year, please check. A general rule of thumb is that works published in the 2010 calendar year are eligible for consideration for this year’s awards nominations.
3. Authors/Artists/Editors: Feel free to either list your eligible works in the comments and/or link to a blog post outlining your eligible works, if you’ve already done the latter.
4. If you list your work, please also mention the category you expect it will be eligible in, to help folks with their nomination choices. My assumption is that generally speaking you’ll use the Hugo and Nebula categories, but if another award has a category outside those, feel free to list it too (for example, anthologies). Note to short fiction writers: This will be especially important for you to do this because people may not know whether to file your work into the short story, novelette or novella categories.
5. If you want to include links to your works, please feel free, but be aware that posts with many links may be initially punted into the moderation queue. Don’t panic when that happens, I’ll be going through regularly to free them. HOWEVER, please make sure that before you post, you check all your links and formatting. There is no preview button here.
6. One post per creator, please.
So: Authors! Artists! Editors! What do you want people to keep in mind for this awards nomination season?
Thanks, John!
I have a list of my eligible works on my website, but I would particularly like to draw attention to my novel, “Shades of Milk and Honey” and my short story, “For Want of a Nail.”
Thanks to everyone else for your consideration.
I have one work that’s eligible for short story awards: The Book of Autumn.
Thank you! :)
Thanks John!
I (and my lovely co-editor Carol Kirkman) have put together a list of stories from our magazine (Basement Stories) that are eligible for the Hugos here. I’m fairly certain that all those stories are also eligible for the Nebulas. Thanks again.
All of the stories I worked on as an editor in 2010 are listed on my website <a href="http://www.johnjosephadams.com/2011/01/2011-hugo-awards-nomination-period-is-now-open"here.
What I’d most want to highlight is that Lightspeed Magazine is eligible in the semiprozine category, as is all of the original fiction I published there in 2010.
It’s hard to single out any stories in particular, but I’ll point out a few that were picked up by Year’s Best editors for inclusion in best-of-the-year anthologies, so, in essence, it’s not just me recommending them:
# Amaryllis—Carrie Vaughn (Lightspeed Magazine/Dozois Year’s Best)
# No Time Like the Present—Carol Emshwiller (Lightspeed Magazine/Horton Year’s Best)
# The Zeppelin Conductors’ Society Annual Gentlemen’s Ball—Genevieve Valentine (Lightspeed Magazine/Strahan Year’s Best)
# Arvies—Adam-Troy Castro (Lightspeed Magazine/Horton Year’s Best)
# Flower, Mercy, Needle, Chain—Yoon Ha Lee (Lightspeed Magazine/ Horton & Dozois Year’s Best)
# Standard Loneliness Package—Charles Yu (Lightspeed Magazine/Horton Year’s Best)
# In-Fall—Ted Kosmatka (Lightspeed Magazine/Dozois Year’s Best)
# The Magician and the Maid and Other Stories—Christie Yant (The Way of the Wizard/Horton Year’s Best)
Wow! What a great thing to do!
Thanks!
My Novel, DEAD MECH: The World’s First Drabble Novel, can be found here: http://jakebible.com/buy-dead-mech/
Thanks for checking it out, everyone.
Cheers!
I’ve got a new YA fantasy novel, first book in a series: Song of the Sword, Book 1 of the Shards of Excalibur, published by Canada’s Lobster Press. Details are on my website, along with a sample.
Thanks indeed
Dear Ms Moon is eligible for short story or flash fiction awards.
I’m in my second year of eligibility for a Campbell Award, along with a lot of other scrumptious people.
Thanks! but I have a smattering of ebooks here:

You da man, John. You da man. Here are my 2010 eligible stories:

If anyone would like to see a copy, please contact me through my website: http://www.kellyswails.com
Thanks to everyone for their time!
I have a new novel eligible for young readers awards: Come Fall.
Thanks for doing this John!
This is where I remind people to please be clear as to which categories they want people to think about nominating your work. Short fiction writers — SF/F nominators will be happy to know whether your story is a short story, a novelette or a novella.
Please take a little time to help them accurately place your work.
Thank you! This is a great idea. I have a fantasy novel called Redemption in Indigo. It’s also my first novel and first paying publication.
Wow. Thanks for this, Mr. Scalzi – I really appreciate it.
The one thing I would like to point people to from 2010 is my short story, “Twittering the Stars,” which is told entirely in tweets, and can be read backwards and forwards. It appeared in Shine: An Anthology of Optimistic Science Fiction, and I feel very comfortable recommending the entire anthology to everyone’s attention – I was so thrilled to be with other great short stories. But I’m particularly proud of pulling this off.
Again, thanks!
– Mari Ness

Aw, thanks very much for this, John!
I’ve put up a blog post with my picks for awards consideration. (slightly amended from my original version, since I realised that my story “The Shipmaker”, published in the UK, was actually eligible for the Hugos).
I’d like to offer up two short stories that are eligible.
First, my Isaac Asimov tribute story In Memory Yet Green, published in the anthology My First Time. http://thatneilguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/in-memory-yet-green.html
Secondly, The Future Soon, published at 365 Tomorrows. http://www.365tomorrows.com/05/31/the-future-soon/
Thanks everybody!
“Mainstream” SF/F publications in 2010:
My short story “Your Name Is Eve” appeared in CLOCKWORK PHOENIX 3, edited by Mike Allen and released by Norilana Books.
Erotic SF/F releases in 2010: (Like mainstream … but much, much hotter!) (All short stories)
“Partners” – Like A Mask Removed, Volume 1, edited by Bethany Zaitz, Circlet Press
“Doppelganger” – Like Butterflies In Iron, edited by Lauren Senger, Circlet Press
“The Devil’s Masquerade” – Masked Pleasures, edited by Jennifer Levine, Circlet Press
“Hannah and the Witch” – Rumpledsilksheets, edited by EM Lynley, Ravenous Romance
As a zine editor, I put the list of eligible stories, etc. on my blog recently, but I would particularly like to draw attention to Gwendolyn Clare, whose short story “The Other Lila” I published this year, and who is in her second year of eligibility for the Campbell for Best New Writer, and to recommend a (marginally shorter) short list of the short stories in particular for consideration:
Issue #1:
C.S. Fuqua, “Rise Up”
Issue #2:
Melissa Mead, “Hirasol”
Uri Grey, “The Sad Story of the Naga”
Gwendolyn Clare, “The Other Lila”
Issue #3:
Lavie Tidhar, “The Story of Listener and Yu-En”
Katherine Sparrow, “Like Parchment in the Fire”
Melinda Thielbar, “You’re Almost Here”
Issue #4:
Andrew Magowan, “Freedom Acres”
Nick Mamatas, “O, Harvard Square!”
David Tallerman, “The Burning Room”
Thanks John!
My contemporary YA fantasy Thief Eyes came out in 2010 and so is Norton eligible — it’s based on the Icelandic sagas (Njal’s Saga especially) and the woman best known for refusing her husband two locks of her hair to restring his bow in battle. Also, there’s unstable geology, a shapeshifting polar bear, and a rather mythic arctic fox. :-)
Because I’d like to get more people to read it, I am promoting one story of mine, “The Vostrasovitch Clockwork Animal and Traveling Forest Show at the End of the World.” It was a hard story to get right, and I put a lot of love and elbow grease into it, not to mention advanced evolved steampunk microbials.
If you’re a SFWA member, please give it a read and consider nominating it. If you’re not, please give it a read and just enjoy it. It’s available in the Crossed Genres archives here: http://crossedgenres.com/archives/016/the-vostrasovitch-clockwork-animal/
“The Vostrasovitch Clockwork Animal and Traveling Forest Show at the End of the World”
published: March 1, 2010
Crossed Genres issue #16
And thanks to our suave host, Mr. Scalzi.
My co-edited essay collection, Chicks Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the Women Who Love It, is eligible in the “Related Works” Category. It includes essays by Catherynne M. Valente, Elizabeth Bear, Mary Robinette Kowal, Jody Lynn Nye, K. Tempest Bradford and Seanan McGuire, among others, about Doctor Who and the experience of media fandom.
Eep, I’m sorry. ^^; Mine (Book of Autumn) is a novelette. Because I’m long-winded. I don’t think I can edit my comment to add that, though.
This is a great idea! Thank you. :)
I am eligible for a Hugo for Editor, Long Form, chiefly for my work as editor with Dragon Moon Press, a Canadian independent genre publisher. My SF Editor Wiki page is here.
Two of the especially notable novels I’ve worked on that were published in 2010 are Toothless by J.P. Moore (Dragon Moon Press) and Geist by Philippa Ballantine (Ace Books).
I’ve listed my 2010 publications in my blog, but I would particularly like to recommend the following works to people’s attention:
Short story: “Teaching the Pig to Sing” from the May 2010 Analog
Novelette: “Pupa” from
the September 2010 Analog
Novella: “Second
Chance” from Alembical 2
Hope you enjoy them!
My Islamic weird western “Mister Hadj’s Sunset Ride” (here: http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/story.php?s=99)
is eligible for both the Hugo and Nebula Short Story awards. On the Hugo ballot, I’m also eligible for the Campbell Award for Best New Writer (for which I was a finalist last year) – all of my published stories are available for free online (http://www.saladinahmed.com/wordpress/bibliography/).
Thanks!
Well, I have my list publications from 2010 up on my site here: http://www.geoffreylandis.com/2010.html
“Marya and the Pirate” (Asimov’s, Jan 2010) would be eligible for awards in the novellette category, and “The Sultn of the Clouds” (Asimov’s, Sept 2010) would be eligible for Novella category.
I’ll send copies by email on request; you can reach me at geoffrey@ironangels.net
My first published short story, “We Don’t Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore,” is eligible for 2010 nominations. The story appeared in print form with the publication of Stupefying Stories: “It Came From The Slushpile”, an anthology edited by Bruce Bethke, and has also featured prominently as a free download at Smashwords.com, where, as of around midnight, New Year’s Eve, it attained 40,000 downloads, and is currently ranked as their fourth most-downloaded work of all time.
This particular story was also featured in an eBook Signing Event hosted by MobileRead.com. Over the course of five days I hand-signed and assembled several hundred eBooks — very good for word-of-mouth publicity! — and the event was covered in at least three foreign languages, on blogs and eBook news sites around the world.
“We Don’t Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore” may be read and/or downloaded from Smashwords.com, as HTML (suitable for web browsers), MOBI (suitable for Kindle), EPUB (suitable for numerous e-Reader devices, including Apple’s iPad, and modern Sony devices), PDF (suitable for any device capable of displaying Adobe’s format of choice) or LRF (suitable for older Sony readers): http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/12590
I should also note that, to the best of my knowledge, I am not yet eligible to receive the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer (although it would be a tremendous honor!), because my first professional sale is still unpublished, and currently slated to appear in a 2011 issue of Bull Spec.
What a great idea – thanks!
I have a list of my 2010 stories (all qualifying as short fiction and all eligible for the Hugo and Nebula) available at my website.
Thank you, John, for the opportunity to be my own shameless shill and remind readers of print media that my novella, “Orfy,” in the Sept./Oct 2010 F&SF, is eligible, if unworthy, for a Hugo nomination. Hell, all I want is an excuse to go to Reno and share coldcuts and veggies in the Green Room with the immortals (which may not be a bad title for a story, come to think of it).
Thank you, John. I’ve placed a list of my selected works for 2010 on my blog, with links to those available over the web.
http://www.jlake.com/2011/01/03/awards-nomination-season-is-upon-us/
Best,
Jay
As has been said, thank you for this opportunity.
It just so happens I made my own blog post on the topic this morning.
(It was a good year for me, credit-wise.)
“How To Eat Fried Furries” (collection of humorous short science fiction and fantasy fiction published by Eraserhead Press) http://nicolecushing.wordpress.com/how-to-eat-fried-furries-faq/
“All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Piggy Class” (short fiction, dark fantasy) in the John Skipp anthology, Werewolves & Shape Shifters: Encounters With The Beast Within http://www.amazon.com/Werewolves-Shape-Shifters-Encounters-Beasts/dp/1579128521/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294181309&sr=1-1
Thanks, John!
At Hadley Rille Books, we published four novels and six anthologies/collections in 2010. They are all available from Amazon and also on Kindle and in some bookstores. I edited 8 of those 10 books and am listing them (and the stories from the anthologies/collections) below.
If you would like a free electronic copy sent to you to review for Hugo consideration, please email me at: e r i c r e y n o l d s AT y a h o o DOT c o m. Put “Hugo” in the subject line.
THRALL, a prehistoric Fantasy novel by Kimberly Todd Wade (September)
Thrall earned a positive review in Publishers Weekly and is a story set tens of thousands of years ago at the dawn of modern human consciousness. It is a very fun read and as PW says, it gets the mental gears turning.
FINDER, a Fantasy novel by Terri-Lynne DeFino (November)
Finder earned a positive review in Library Journal which said: “DeFino’s first novel creates an exotic desert environment as a backdrop to the story of a young man’s coming-of-age and a young woman’s search for the only family she has left. VERDICT Compelling characters and a fascinating world background make this a good addition to most fantasy collections.”
TRANSCENDENCE, a Science Fiction novel by Christopher McKitterick (November)
Transcendence earned a positive review in Library Journal which said: “Short story writer McKitterick’s first novel tells a larger-than-life cautionary tale of men and women in crisis and of the dangers posed by an out-of-control technology. VERDICT Readers who enjoyed the cyberpunk feel of Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash as well as the cosmic fiction of James Blish’s Cities in Flight should welcome the author’s full-length sf debut.” Note, Chris has also offered an electronic version for free. Go to http://www.sff.net/people/mckitterick/Me/Transcendence1.htm.
THE NORTHERN QUEEN, a Fantasy novel by Kim Vandervort (December)
The Northern Queen earned a positive review in Booklist which said: “With so many new plotlines and a cliffhanger ending, at least one sequel must in the works. Suggest to fans of Ken Scholes Psalms of Isaak series(Antiphon, 2010) who are looking for something a little lighter and less complex.” They also added that those, including younger readers, who read her first novel The Song and the Sorceress will want to stay the course.

http://www.carisomalley.com
Thanks for doing this, John. :) I have a short story, “Last Gate to Faerie,” in the BAD-ASS FAERIES 3: IN ALL THEIR GLORY anthology (Mundania 2010) that is eligible for a short story award.
Good luck everyone!
Thanks, John.
My 2010 debut fantasy novel, Shadow’s Son (Gollancz/Pyr Books), has been nominated for the Gemmell Award for Fantasy, in both the Legend and Morningstar categories. Voting is open to anyone on the award site (http://gemmellaward.com/).
Thanks for considering me.
John:
I appreciate you doing this. I’ve posted my award eligible short fiction on my website at http://www.jasonsanford.com/jason/2011/01/2010-fiction-from-me.html
You do a public service, sir, corralling us all in one place where we can be attended to or ignored, as the reader chooses. :-)

I’d like to draw readers’ attention to two short stories that appeared in anthologies in 2010:

The other story, “The Persistence of Butterflies,” a near-future, climate change story, appears in 2020 VISIONS, and I’d be happy to send a copy to anyone who contacts me at: sheila-finch@sff.net.
Many thanks, John, for doing this. Interested parties may find a list of my eligible work at http://matthewsrotundo.livejournal.com/105633.html.
Of these, my personal favorite is my short story “Ashes, Ashes.”
Thank you, John.
The one work of mine that I’d like to point out is a Short Story titled “Hope.” It appeared in the Destination: Future anthology from Hadley Rille and PW called it “sublimely moving.” It’s my understanding that Hadley Rille will be posting it soon for folks to read.
Thank you for making this post, John!
For anybody perusing the comments:
My name is Keffy R. M. Kehrli, and I’m a relatively new science fiction and fantasy writer. I attended Clarion in San Diego in 2008 and won third place in Writers of the Future in 2010.
This year, I have two pieces of eligible fiction in the Short Story category for both the Nebulas and Hugo awards.
“Daha’s Son” was published May 2010 in Fantasy Magazine.
“The Ghost of a Girl Who Never Lived” was published October 2010 in InterGalactic Medicine Show.
This is ALSO my second year of eligibility for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. My Writertopia biography and bibliography are here.
If you are nominating for the Campbell and would like to read more of my work, I have also just released a small, free, illustrated e-book that collects the first four of my published short stories. It is available on my website, at keffy.com/four.html. This includes “Daha’s Son.”
I currently only have the PDF file format available, but I plan on putting epub up as soon as I get the formatting figured out.
You can also find out more about me from my website.
Thank you for your time,
-Keffy
PIMPAGE! Thank you John.
I published a novel called The Magicians in 2009. That puts me in my second year of eligibility for the Campbell Award. Second time’s a charm!
Wow, what a great opportunity to say a few words about the series I’ve been working on for nearly 6 years now.
The First Trilogy of the Ardwellian Chronicles is complete, a series of novels detailing the exploits and adventures of three families in particular.
The elves, Sheynon and Ysilrod Calidriil, brothers who saw their parents murdered during the Purge; the humans Shiva Lahai and his son Thalion, one unwittingly instrumental in the Purge’s beginnings, the other in its end; and Audrey Vincent, crusader and Champion from the lands north, taking up the Sword and the Word against those perpetrating the evil of the Purge.
The first novel, Secret Fire, tells the story of Sheynon’s growth from a simple thief to a lord by his own hand, and the sacrifices made to find the greatest treasure in elven history.
Dark Way of Anger follows, with the land having suffered for 25 years of war and genocide, and the struggles of Thalion, Ysilrod, and Audrey to end its stranglehold. The third book, Secrets of the Second Sun, tells of the time when gods were mortal and betrayal was at the very heart of the forces that shaped the Ardwellian history.
If you enjoy complex plots, characters with flaws as great as their strengths, and heroes and villains matching wits and crossing swords (with a bit of magic thrown in), The Ardwellian Chronicles might be just what you’re looking for.
My website is http://www.ardwelwriter.com and my blog is http://www.theardwellianchronicles.blogspot.com. Please visit and let me know what you think.
Happy reading!
My debut YA fantasy novel, Mistwood (HarperCollins/Greenwillow), is eligible for the Andre Norton Award. It’s a high fantasy about an ancient shapeshifter trapped in the form of a human girl. For more info, well, check out its Big Idea essay: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/04/23/the-big-idea-leah-cypess/
(And to John, a double thanks.)
Thank you, John!
My sole publication last year was “After the Dragon,” eligible in the short story category.
My novel, Five Wounds, was published in Australia in May 2010 with Allen & Unwin (some of you may have seen copies at Aussiecon). The US publication is scheduled for 1 May 2011, so it will be eligible I think. See http://www.fivewoundsthenovel.com for more information.
A reminder to folks that posts not actually by author promoting award-eligible works this year will be snipped out of the thread.
Eligible for ‘Best Novel’, that is, though with the late publication date, its chances will be better next year …
Sorry for the multiple posts. The Hugo website offers this clarification on works first published outside the US:
Because such a huge proportion of the people who nominate on the Hugo Awards are in the USA, and because those people often do not get to see works first published outside the USA until a year later when those works get US publication, WSFS has been experimenting with extending the eligibility of works first published outside the USA. This extension has to be renewed annually by the WSFS Business Meeting, and historically has not always been extended since the rule was adopted allowing it. Check the Hugo Award nominating ballot for the current year to see whether works published in prior years outside of the USA are eligible if they were published for the first time in the USA in the current year.
However, I don’t have this year’s nominating ballot available. Can anyone clarify if the relevant clause is in force this year? If it is, I’m eligible for 2011 only.
In any case, it’s all academic really. I’m not expecting to see my name on any shortlists …
Thanks again, John.
Sharon Lee and Steve Miller have two science fiction novels eligible for Hugo consideration — Saltation, and Mouse and Dragon.
Sharon Lee has one fantasy novel eligible for Hugo consideration — Carousel Tides.
Sample chapters for Carousel Tides: http://www.webscription.net/chapters/1439133956/1439133956.htm
Sample chapters for Saltation: http://www.webscription.net/chapters/143913345X/143913345X.htm
Sample chapters for Mouse and Dragon: http://www.webscription.net/chapters/1439133816/1439133816.htm
Thank you for your attention.
Reminder also to people that I asked for “one post per creator,” which means that it’s probably better if you organize your posts ahead of time. Don’t worry, the thread will still be here once you have.
Thanks for doing this!
I have four eligible short stories this year:
“Gingerbread House” in Weird Tales
“Bear Country” in Pagans and Witches
“The Red and Green Kerchief” in Crossed Genres http://crossedgenres.com/archives/022-bildungsroman/the-red-and-green-kerchief-by-kater-cheek/
and
“Alternative Medicine” in Alternative Coordinates
Thanks
Kater Cheek
There is a full list of my eligible work on my blog: http://yuki-onna.livejournal.com/625108.html
But I’d really like to point my giant finger of I-think-I-did-good at my novel The Habitation of the Blessed and my short story 13 Ways of Looking at Space/Time.
Many thanks, John, and likewise to everyone for posting their stuff. I try to read everything everywhere by everyone, and yet somehow seem to fail. Doesn’t stop me trying, though, nor looking for more suggestions.
I have three eligible stories from 2010, which also happen to be my first three stories period. They were all published in Asimov’s; let me take the opportunity to once again thank Sheila Williams for her support and advice. For SFWA members, these are available in the Nebula downloads section, and don’t forget that Asimov’s is available digitally via Fictionwise and Amazon’s Kindle store.
“The Union of Soil and Sky”, novella, Asimov’s SF April/May
“Slow Boat”, novelette, Asimov’s SF August
“Freia in the Sunlight”, short story, Asimov’s SF December
Thanks, and happy new year!
I only have one eligible novel and that’s my debut one, “Corruptor”.
http://jasoncordova.com/the-books/corruptor/
Thanks for the opportunity, John. Still slightly weirded out at the idea of self-pimpage, as this is my first publication. But I’m sure I’ll get over it.
Short story “Palindrome” on Daily SF. http://dailysciencefiction.com/story/palindrome
Thanks, John!
I would like to pimp my short story with the long title- And the Blood of Dead Gods Will Mark the Score. Published and still archived at Fantasy Magazine. It’s also available as a Podcast at PodCastle.
Thanks, John!
I’ve listed my Nebula-eligible stories on my LJ page: ken-schneyer.livejournal.com/39157.html.
But I’d especially like to point out two short stories (under 7,500 words), both of which are available to read online:
“Lineage”, which appeared in Clockwork Phoenix 3″, and can be read on the Fantasy Book Critic site: fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2010/07/online-story-from-clockwork-phoenix-3.html.
“Tenure Track”, which appeared in Cosmos Online: http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/node/3719/full.
I feel absolutely foolish, given the names of people whose work I revere on this list…but I didn’t get published by not being foolish.
Novella – Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse (Hugo)
Short Story – The Edge of the World (Both)
Hi, John! Greetings from a fellow Ohioan and thanks so much for doing this!
I have three eligible fantasy novels from 2010 from Pocket-Juno books:
EMBERS by Laura Bickle (first novel)
SPARKS by Laura Bickle
DARK ORACLE by Alayna Williams
I am happy to send copies hither and yon. Thanks again!
Hey there! My fantasy novel The Northern Queen is eligible in the novel category. Booklist gave it a great review, and specifically recommended it to fans of Ken Scholes. Would love it if you would take a look and consider it for awards this season! Also, please consider my editor, Eric T. Reynolds of Hadley Rille Books, for the best editor categories. Thanks!
Been talking about this over at my own blog, but in particular I’d like to pimp The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, a novel, from Orbit Books. Should be eligible for international awards as well as US-only awards. I have short stories and a second novel eligible, but if people have to make a choice — which they do — I’d ask that they pick that one. :)
Thanks for doing this John!
I had a number of stories come out this year, and I’d most like to call attention to the following three:
The Robot’s Girl – a novelette that was published in Analog
The Hebra’s and the Demons and the Damned – a short story that was published in Analog, and
My Father’s Singularity, a short story that was published in Clarkesworld which can also be heard on audio, narrated by the very capable Kate Baker. This story was also picked up by Gardener Dozois for his Year’s Best anthology.
My YA novel, The Line, (Dial, March 2010) featured in John’s The Big Idea here http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/03/05/the-big-idea-teri-hall/ is eligible for the Andre Norton award. It was reviewed as follows in Goodreads:
“Erinthefunk rated it 4 of 5 stars
“If anyone has thought about reading Stephen King’s “Under the Dome,” read this instead. A better plot, a better explanation, and a MUCH shorter read. I loved it.”
AHAHAHAHAHA. That last part (“and a MUCH shorter read”) still makes me smile. Because the godz know we don’t need loooong books, right?
Thanks, John! This is my first year with anything eligible, so I’m triple excited.
I made a blog post about my eligible stories here: http://overactive.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/nom-nom-nom/
“Some Like it Hot” (Short story, AlienSkin Magazine, Feb/March 2010)
“No Spaceships Go” (Short story, Daily Science Fiction, December 2010) (http://dailysciencefiction.com/story/no-spaceships-go)
My novelette “Exanastasis” appeared in Writers of the Future, vol. XXVI.
But I think I am proudest of my novelette “Outbound,” which was the anchor story in the November 2010 issue of Analog Science Fiction & Fact. Got a double-page, gorgeous illustration on that, my first ever story where I won page space among long-working professionals.
2010 was a good year.

All of my current works are listed on my website at http://www.kristadball.com. However, I’d like to draw special attention to my novella “Harvest Moon”, a paranormal fantasy that explores identity through the shunning of a Canadian aboriginal woman.
It’s published through MuseItUp Publishing, a Canadian epublisher, and available as a single-title purchase.
Thanks for the opportunity.
My short story, “Flying with the Dead,” which appeared in Crossed Genres (http://crossedgenres.com/archives/024-charactersofcolor/flying-with-the-dead-by-sabrina-vourvoulias/) and also in the Crossed Genres Year Two anthology.
Thanks for doing this, John.
I wrote my own self-pimpage post over at my blog, but the capsule version is that I have two pieces eligible this year:
Short story: “Lobo, Actually” (appeared in the omnibus Jump Gate Twist)
Novel: Children No More
I have two pieces eligible in the short story category, both published in Asimov’s: “Conditional Love” (January) and “The Termite Queen of Tallulah County.” (October/November.) I’m particularly proud of “Conditional Love.”
Thanks for the thread!

This is a terrific idea, and much appreciated, John.
I am very proud of my short science fiction story “My Father’s Eyes”, which was published in Sybil’s Garage No. 7, edited by Matthew Kressel of Senses Five Press. I would be delighted if eligible members considered nominating it for the Nebula and/or Hugo.
Thank you, John, for providing this forum to list our eligible works.
My novelette “The Hunt” (Jim Baen’s Universe, February 2010) is eligible for the Nebula. SFWA members can read the novelette at http://www.sfwa.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=61.
On the Hugo ballot, I’m eligible for the Campbell Award for Best New Writer. This is my first year of eligibility. Writertopia does not have any info up for me (as of 4 January 2010). However, you can learn more about me and my work at my Website at http://www.ShaunaRoberts.com.

“Vertically-Mobile Comedy: The ‘Eric in the Elevator’ Story”: vimeo link.
Thank you, John! (Sorry that you couldn’t make the LosCon screening party in 2008.)
Thanks for this John!
My novel Moxyland is eligible for the Nebula (Zoo City is eligible only in 2012 because of it’s US-release date).
Moxyland and Zoo City are both eligible for The Hugo for best novel.
More info on both at http://www.laurenbeukes.com
My new venture, Salon Futura, managed 4 issues in 2010 and is therefore eligible for Semiprozine.
Clarkesworld is also eligible, of course, and we have published some great fiction and art in 2010, all of which you can find via our Reader’s Poll.
While I am here, yes, the special rule allowing an extra year of Hugo eligibility on first US publication if previous publications were all outside of the USA is in force this year.
My eligible work (all as by Steven H Silver):
Short Story: “In the Night” in the anthology Love and Rockets (edited by Martin Greenberg & Kerrie Hughes, DAW, 12/10)
Editor (Long Form): I edited the novel Assassins, by Steven Barnes (ISFiC Press, 11/10) and the collection Robots and Magic by Lester del Rey (NESFA Press, 2/10)
Fanzine: Argentus
Fan Writer: I am again eligible with article sin The Drink Tank, Argentus, on my website and in various other places.
Campbell: This is my second and final year of eligibility.
My podcast is technically eligible for a Hugo: The Skiffy and Fanty Show (http://skiffyandfanty.wordpress.com/). I think we can technically be nominated for the fan-zine category, or whichever category Starship Sofa was nominated for last year.
Thanks for letting us throw our crap on your blog, by the way. Tis awesome.
My short story “Holdfast” was published in December in Fantasy Magazine: you can read it at http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/2010/12/holdfast/
It’s been selected for Rich Horton’s Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy, so at the very least it should be worth your time!
As well, I published a novelette, “Written by the Winners,” in the anthology _Timelines_ from Northern Frights Press. SFWA members can download it in the Novelette section of the Nebulas board.
Both stories are eligible for the Nebulas, Hugos and Auroras.
Thanks for the pimpage opportunity!
Thanks for the opportunity. I won’t mention everything, but here are a few from last year that I’m rather proud of—
Short Stories
“The Queen’s Reason” – Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, #25 (April 2010)
“Four Horsemen, at Their Leisure” – Tor.com (April 2010) http://www.tor.com/stories/2010/04/four-horsemen-at-their-leisure
Novelettes
“Sanji’s Demon” – Beneath Ceaseless Skies, #38, March. http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/story.php?s=81
“The Twa Corbies, Revisited” – ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER OF HEAVEN, Prime Books, November 2010
Clarkesworld Magazine is eligible for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine. A complete list of our 2010 stories (listed by their appropriate categories) is available here.
Thank you for this opportunity!
My SF/F novel Strange Little Band (Goodreads link) is eligible. If you’d like a review copy, please email me at nancy {at] nancybrauer [dot} com.
Kaleidotrope put out three issues last year, with a lot of terrific stories (all listed at the site), and I suppose we’re also eligible as Best Fanzine, should one be so inclined.
I’d like to plug my short story, 50 Fatwas for the Virtuous Vampire. http://www.apexbookcompany.com/apex-online/2010/11/short-fiction-50-fatwas-for-the-virtuous-vampire-by-pamela-k-taylor/
My ChiZine #46 (Oct-Dec. 2010) story A Loss for _____ is eligible in the short story category.
Thanks, John, for this page, and thanks to all who take a look at my story!
My novel MAD SKILLS (Ace Books) was just released on Dec. 28, 2010. It’s a subversive book, so I’m grateful for the chance to propose it for Hugo or Nebula consideration.
Also published in 2010 was my novel XOMBIES: APOCALYPTICON (Ace), which I would love to see get a little awards attention, since it is a serious work–really. Hey, I don’t control what goes on the cover!
Anyway, thanks for this opportunity to pitch my books, John. You’re a prince.
First, thank you, seriously, for your kindness in doing these sort of things.
I would like to post my works:
I have an anthology called “But Can You Let Him Go?” http://drolleriepress.com/books/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=107
It has a short story by the same name in it that would also be worthy of consideration.
I also have the very well reviewed “The Chocolatier’s Wife” which is a fantasy novel. It could go under fantasy mystery, fantasy romance, or just fantasy. Here is a link: http://apenandfire.com/?page_id=507
Thank you!
Thanks for doing this! I’ve got a pair of novels — Wild Hunt and Soul Hunt, which came out in January and December of last year.
I also have two steampunk/industrial fantasy short stories in Beneath Ceaseless Skies (though one’s just barely under the word limit for short stories): “A Serpent in the Gears” and “The Guilt Child.”
Nobody’s still paying attention, are they? Erm, hello, post 100 here, sitting under much fine work. I had published, this year, my own favourite of my short stories, ‘Secret Identity’, in the Masked anthology. Gay Manchester-based superhero doing magic, what more could you want? I will give all nominators a biscuit. (Terms and conditions apply, biscuit is British version of biscuit, not that thing you mop gravy with.)
Thanks, John!
My new science-ficiton thriller novel Amortals came out in the UK in November, so it’s eligible for the Hugo and BFSA awards. Because it didn’t get to the US until a few days ago, it’s not ready for the Nebulas until next year.
My 2010 Science Fiction romance novel, Ultimate Duty, was released in 2010 from Eternal Press.
All my books with buy links are listed on my website.
Thanks for the opportunity to list.
I’d like to offer up Audible’s original audio anthology METAtropolis: Cascadia (written by Jay Lake, Mary Robinette Kowal, Tobias Buckell, Elizabeth Bear, Karl Schroeder & Ken Scholes – and narrated by Rene Auberjonois, Kate Mulgrew, Wil Wheaton, Gates McFadden, Jonathan Frakes & LeVar Burton) for Hugo consideration in the ‘Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form’ category – as well as for the Bradbury Award for excellence in a dramatic presentation (awarded during the Nebulas weekend).
I know that the participating authors are touting their individual stories for Hugo & Nebula consideration. Here’s the list with the appropriate short fiction category. (This is based on my word count…):
NOVELLA
THE BULL DANCERS by Jay Lake
A SYMMETRY OF SERPENTS AND DOVES by Ken Scholes
NOVELETTE
WATER TO WINE by Mary Robinette Kowal
BYWAYS by Tobias S. Buckell
CONFESSOR by Elizabeth Bear
DEODAND by Karl Schroeder
It’s all great stuff!
Thanks very much for the opportunity, John!
My short story, “Small Fish in the Deep Blue Sea,” was published in Fantastique Unfettered Issue One.
Here’s an awards roundup link from the editor of Fantastique Unfettered: http://www.fantastique-unfettered.com/2011/01/fantastique-unfettered-2010-awards.html
If you like humorous SF, you may enjoy my “kitchen sink” apocalypse story, Sister Jasmine Brings the Pain. It’s up at IGMS.
I should mention the ConNotations fanzine, published by the Central Arizona Speculative Fiction Society (CASFS), which is eligible for nomination for best fanzine. It has been going for 20 years now and I’ve been contributing the SF Tube Talk column and occasional interviews, such as the one with Connie Wilis in the most recent issue.. Issues are available to read online at http://casfs.org/ConNotations/Index-CN.html
Ugh. Corrected URL:
Once again, you rock, John. Thanks for the opportunity.
My novel BLOOD HEAT is eligible for the novel category.
Hello,
I am the senior editor of Bad-Ass Faeries 3: In All Their Glory (finalist for the 2011 EPIC Award for Best Anthology) and Dragon’s Lure, both of which published this year and should qualify for Best Anthology or Best Short Story Collection.
I would also qualify for a Best Editor category.

The Naming of Names (Volume 11-38)
The Tricky Art of Conversation (Volume 12-39)
Continuing the Conversation (volume 13-40)
Best,
Danielle
Thanks for this thread!
My graphic novel Hereville (“yet another troll-fighting 11-year-old Orthodox Jewish girl”) is Hugo-eligible in Best Graphic Story. You can read a preview of the first 15 pages here, and you can read some reviews of Hereville here.
Also, if you’re eligible to vote in this year’s Hugo awards, you can email me for a free pdf copy of Hereville. (If you’d prefer paper — and I’ll be honest, I think it looks nicer on paper — it’s available in bookstores, on Amazon, etc.)
Darn it, I screwed up I didn’t mention my email address for Hugo voters who want a pdf copy of “Hereville” to read — it’s barry.deutsch@gmail.com. My sincere apologies for the double-post.
Oh, and I realized there are a few more things that are technically eligible that I’ve been a part of in some way or another:
Crimethink — Politics and Speculative Fiction is eligible for Best Related Work. I have an essay in there, but there are loads of other great folks in it (Jay Lake, Nisi Shawl, and Gary Westfahl, for example). The book is here
I also had a short story published last year which is eligible for Best Short Story. Called “To Paint the Kingdom Red” (Part One; Part Two).
And my blog technically makes me eligible for Best Fan Writer, though this year is the first time I think I’ve done something worthy of consideration.
Hopefully Lord Scalzi is okay with the double post. All of these things slipped my mind earlier…
Thanks for this opportunity, John.
The fourth novel of my Alternate Earth SF series, “The Wildcat’s Burden” was released in February 2010. Link to e-book on the publisher’s site is
http://www.double-dragon-ebooks.com/single.php?ISBN=1-55404-729-3
Thanks for this opportunity!
I’d like to mention my novel TOOTHLESS. It’s a zombie apocalypse set in the middle ages that started life as podfic, and is now (as of November 2010) a trade paperback and ebook from Dragon Moon Press. Publishers Weekly says it’s “moving, intriguing, and highly entertaining.” Learn more at:
http://www.jpmooreonline.com/toothless
John, thank you for doing this.
I would liketo call peoples attention to my short story “Where the Shadows Began” that appeared in Tales of the Shadowmen # 6 Grand Guignol edited by J.M. and Randy Lofficier. I’ll be happy to e-mail anyone a copy of it just contact me at sinor13@yahoo.com.
I had a novelette appear, “The Eminence’s Match,” in the Eight Against Reality anthology from Panverse Publishing. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to mention it. Congratulations to everyone here!
Cool. Look how many authors read Whatever!
The Company Articles of Edward Teach, half of a Double from Twelfth Planet Press, falls into the Hugo and Nebula novelette categories and the Australian Ditmar novella category.
Yowie from the TPP Australian suburban fantasy anthology Sprawl falls into short story for all three awards.
Ditto Death’s Daughter and the Clockmaker (Aurealis #43), The War of the Gnome and the Mountain Devil (Zahir #23) and Ambassador (Hadley Rille). Huzzah!
Short (short!) story, “The Transfiguration of Maria Luisa Ortega” at The Kenyon Review Online: http://www.kenyonreview.org/kro_full.php?file=yu.php
Late again. My novella “The Angælien Apocalypse”, which as John mentioned has Jesus on a spaceship, was published by Twelfth Planet Press: http://www.twelfthplanetpress.com/the-company-articles-of-edward-teachthe-angaelian-apocalypse
And my Androphagi sf/horror short story “Schubert by Candlelight” was published in Macabre: A Journey Through Australia’s Darkest Fears (Brimstone): http://www.brimstonepress.com.au/macabre.htm
I have two pieces out this year which I’m really excited about. The first is a novella that was published this summer in Subterranean Online. It’s my first novella, and I’m pretty excited that it indicates that I might actually be able to write things that require more than a butterfly’s attention span.
The novella is being reprinted in both Strahan’s and Horton’s year’s bests. It’s up at Subterranean — “The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath the Queen’s Window.”
I also wrote a quieter, more personal short story that was published on Tor.com: “The Monster’s Million Faces.” A warning on that one, though–it’s about child abuse. It’s not graphic, but people might want to be aware of what it’s about before they head over.
Here’s StarShipSofa nailing her colours to the mast and putting herself forward once again for Best Fanzine.
Also, I would like to add the interview I carried out with Jack Vance and Frederik Pohl for Best Related Work. You can listen to the mp3 of that interview here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/starshipsofa/StarShipSofa_Interviews_Fred_Pohl_and_Jack_Vance.mp3
Thank you John!
I had 1 novel published through Orbit Books in 2010: THE GASLIGHT DOGS.
One of my Twitter followers told me he’d be nominating this short story for an award, so I thought I’d share: Zombies, Condoms, and Shenzhen: The Surprising Link Between the Undead and the Unborn.
Enjoy!
From my short story collection, Life Without Crows, released in 2010 by Hadley Rille Books:
Fantasy short stories:
“Opposites and All That”
“Dreams of Love and Darkness”
“Found Things”
“Here by Choice”
“Where the Sheep Have Fangs When You Count Them”
From She Nailed a Stake Through His Head, released in 2010 by Dyybuk Press, the fantasy short
“Whither Thou Goest.”
I am eligible in the short story category for 3 stories as:
Not in the Flesh – Writers of the Future Vol. 26 (2010)- (Aug 2010)
The Quanta of Art – InterGalactic Medicine Show – (Aug 2010)
Paradoxically Correct – Redstone Science Fiction – (Dec 2010)
I am also in my first year of eligibility for the Campbell Award for my Writers of the Future story.
Links for all the stories and reviews can be found on my website. If anyone wants a copy of any of these stories I will happily send them to anyone who shoots me an email: me@adamcolston.co.uk
Thank you, John!
My story, Transitions of Truth and Tears, is eligible in the short story category. You can read it in the current issue (#59) of Beneath Ceaseless Skies. http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/story.php?s=125
Thanks again!
Thank you, John.
John Joseph Adams already cited my science fiction short story “Arvies,” published in Lightspeed and eligible in the short story category.
I note that there’s also a horror novelette, “Pieces of Ethan,” from John Skipp’s anthology WEREWOLVES AND SHAPESHIFTERS, eligible for the Stoker and the various fantasy awards.
I’ve had 2 short stories out this year; the one that I would love to see nominated (and that is the most confusing for same) is:
“The Man with the Knives”
New York: Temporary Culture, May 2010. Reprinted:Tor, online, Dec. 2010:
http://www.tor.com/stories/2010/12/the-man-with-the-knives
for your easy reading pleasure.
It’s confusing because it came out in chapbook form – but trust me, at 4,800 words, it really is a short story.
It will be reprinted in
The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume 5, ed. Jonathan Stahan
San Francisco: Night Shade Books, March 2011
. . . but that’s a bit late in the game, isn’t it?
Thanks for the opportunity to post this here.
Thanks for the opportunity, John.
This year I only have one story eligible. It’s a novelette called “Map of Seventeen” and was originally published in The Beastly Bride, edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. It’s been selected to be reprinted in The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, by editor Jonathan Strahan, as well as in Wilde Stories 2011: The Year’s Best Gay Speculative Fiction, by editor Steve Berman.
It can be read by members of SFWA in the novelette section of the reading room, too.
I have one short story eligible for awards for 2010, “The Whirlwind,” which appeared in the January-February 2011 issue of _Fantasy and Science Fiction_. I hasten to add that, although that issue is dated 2011, it went on sale December 28, 2010 and is copyrighted 2010.
My short story “Ghosts of New York” is eligible in the short story categories for the Hugo, Stoker, and Nebula:

Thanks!
Thank you, John. You do quite a lot to benefit other writers and the community.
I have posted about my own eligible works here. I had one novel and two novelettes out in 2010. One of the latter (“Still Life (A Sexagesimal Fairy Tale)”) will be reprinted in Jonathan Strahan’s Best SF and Fantasy of the Year, Volume 5.
In 2010, I had one novel and a number of short stories published.
The novel (well, a little short but I would still call it a novel) was a Fantasy titled “The Ghost of Grover’s Ridge.” It was published as an e-book on October 1 by MuseItUp Publishing, a rather new Canadian company, and the purchase page is:

Of the short stories, my personal favorite is titled “Remembrance of Things Past” (yeah, I stole the title, but that title is definitely in the public domain and I liked it …) which was published in Abyss & Apex in their Fourth Quarter 2010 issue.
The remaining short stories are listed here, along with where they were published, in no particular order:
The Road Too Long, published in: Aurora in the Dawn anthology – Aurora Wolf
I Will Not Forget You, published in: Shine Journal
Half a Photograph, published in: Strange Mysteries II anthology- Whortleberry Press
Peace Corps, published in: Peace on Earth anthology – Whortleberry Press
Pumpkins, published in: Halloween Dances with the Dead anthology – Whortleberry Press
Jean Marie, published in: This Mutant Life
Priorities, published in: Every Day Fiction
Rama, published in: Hazard Cat
A Very Statuesque Woman, published in: Dark Valentine
Hansel and Gretel, published in: Free Range Fairy Tales anthology – Whortleberry Press
Too Damn Cold!, published in: Flagship
A Burning Desire, published in: Garbaj
Gods of the Earth, published in: Post Mortem Press
My website at http://teenangel.netfirms.com has more information on “The Ghost of Grover’s Ridge,” links to some of these stories that were published in free e-zines, and buy links for some of the anthologies.
Enjoy!
Thanks John!
Two eligible short stories:
Lunar Voices (on the Solar Wind) in Redstone Science Fiction (post 70 above by editor Michael Ray)
‘Of Hearts and Monkeys’ in ‘The Company He Keeps’ anthology (Postscripts 22/23) by PS Publishing – http://www.pspublishing.co.uk/books/postscripts-anthologies/individual-issues/the-company-he-keeps-postscripts-2223-by-crowther-gevers
Best wishes, Nick Wood
The “Queering SFF” series that runs on Tor.com, starting in 2010, makes me eligible for Fan Writer.
Thanks!
Wow! I have been reminded that my novel Blade Light, serialized in Jim Baen’s Universe in 2009, is STILL eligible for a Campbell award! Now, I wouldn’t dream of asking any of you to nominate it, sight unseen. But I do hope you will read it, with or without that end in mind. Alas, Jim Baen’s Universe is no longer with us so if you have trouble finding it, contact me, and I will help you find–or even give you–a copy. Just send me a message on FaceBook. (You’ll know it’s me because my picture is a panda.)
Thanks, John, so very much, for this opportunity to promote my book to the world. And thanks, World, for reading this note, and some of you reading my book!
Michaele Jordan (You know, same as the basketball player, except for that pesky ‘e’.)
Sweet!
I have two short stories for 2010: “The Frog Comrade” was in F&SF’s Mar/April issue, and The Guy Who Worked For Money was at shareable.net in July (the stories by other folks in that series are worth looking at as well…)
thanks
Ben
I am the editor and publisher of The Freezine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction.
I would like to enter the short story THE WAY TO ALEXANDRIA, by John Shirley, for Best Fantasy Short Story published in 2010. It appeared in the MARCH, 2010 issue.
Thank you.
Did the thread for non-author nominations ever go up? I’ve been looking for it because I have some recommendations I’d love to add.
Thanks for the opportunity, John.
Roc published my third Major Ariane Kedros Novel, titled Pathfinder, in July 2010 (see http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780451463449,00.html?).
Enemy Within from Berkley Sensation (SFR) is eligible in the novel category.
Apologies – better late than never, I suppose. My only excuse – the original post went up while I was soaking up some much needed sunshine in the Caribbean. :)
My story “Living Rooms” is eligible this year in the Novelette category. It also won the grand prize for Writers of the Future last year.
Guardian of the Dead is eligible for novel category awards, and I’m eligible for the John Campbell.
My book The Science of Battlestar Galactica, written with Dr. Kevin Grazier, is eligible for Best Related Work.
What? You haven’t read my novel Blade Light, which makes me eligible for a Campbell? NO PROBLEM! Check out my web-site and I will read it to you! The podcast is available at http://www.michaelejordan.com (but be careful of the spelling or you will end up looking at basketball pix.)
Ouch. Is this one day remaining for Nebula nominations? I was just alerted to the fact.
Well, anyhow, here goes:
NOVELLA
Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale, by Leonid Korogodski
For a limited time, the ebook version is available for free at http://www.pinknoise.net/pdf/PinkNoise-ePDF.pdf.
Oh, and it is eligible for the Hugo, too. I don’t think it makes me eligible for Campbell’s New Writer, though, since fewer than 10,000 copies were printed.
It seems I still have one day so here it goes:
My short story Rabbits was in Expanded Horizons #24.
Thank you.
Thank you, John!
My full length novel is Pulp Heroes – Khan Dynasty.
