I wear so many hats, and I want to promote so many of the writers I work with, that it’s hard to do a post like this in a straightforward way. So, below is a listing by award.
HUGO
- Editor, Long Form: I’m eligible for this award, for the books I have acquired and copyedited. There are no words for how much I want to be on the ballot for this honor someday.
- Best Short Story/Novelette: There is no anthology category to the Hugos, so you can’t nominate WHEN THE VILLAIN COMES HOME directly. However, the book is made of some excellent short stories. If you are a SFWA member, the ebook is available for free in the Nebula reading list forums. I can also send out review e-copies for book blogging or award consideration.
