Hugo Award nominations open

If you attended last year's World Science Fiction Convention in Montreal or have registered for this year's WorldCon in Melbourne, you're eligible to nominate works for the Hugo Awards. The five-most-nominated works in each category will be shortlisted for the final ballot, which is sent out to this year's attendees. I was honored to be nominated twice last year, and I've got high hopes for this year, too! For the record, my eligible 2009 publications are:

Novel: Makers, Tor, October 2009
Short story: To Go Boldly, in The New Space Opera 2, edited by Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan, Eos, June 1999

Hugo Nominations (via Charlie Stross)

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Yes, welcome back Cory, there was a distinct lack of banana posts!. And good luck on the Hugo. I picked up Makers at the London book launch and read it in 2 days. Most original piece of lit I’ve read in a long time.

Cory,

Good to have you back, brutha.

Nice to have you back, Cory! Hope you had a relaxed vacation. I agree with John above. If Makers doesn’t make the final ballot I’d be disappointed.
