The John W Campbell Award for best new writer is given each year at the Hugo Award ceremony to the most promising writer whose first publication falls in the previous two years. Mary Robinette Kowal, one of this year's nominees, sez, "As the only one of this year's Campbell nominees that's a short-story writer, my work is not always as easy to find. So, I'm offering a sampler of my short fiction for download."
I won the Campbell in 2000, on the strength of my short fiction, so I'm here to tell ya it can be done, Mary!
(Thanks, Mary!)
