Hello everyone and Happy Sunday! If you’re in the united states, hopefully you’ve adjusted to the spring forward time change.
Let’s get down to business, shall we?
Around the Interwebs:
The deadline for nominations for the 2015 Hugo Awards is fast approaching – all nominations are due on March 10. If you are a member of the World Science Fiction Association, and you’re looking for some items to fill out your ballot, we’ve got a bunch of short stories, a novellette, a related work, and – oh yeah! – our own Semiprozine eligible for this year. Check out our ballot and our eligibility for the awards here!
And on that note, to give it one last boost before the nomination period closes, we’re happy to announce that Speculative Fiction 2013: The Best Online Reviews, Essays and Commentary is available for FREE as an ebook for a limited time! Get your copy now on Amazon US and Amazon UK.
In addition to awards-y things, last week the editors’ buzz panels for this year’s BookExpo America were announced! Check it out.
