Obligatory Awards Eligibility Post

I guess it’s that time again, eh? Here’s the stuff I wrote or was involved with in 2015 that’s eligible for various award-type nominations, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Invisible 2: Personal Essays on Representation in SF/F, with an introduction by Aliette de Bodard, is eligible for the Hugo Award in the Best Related Work category.

• The first volume, Invisible, would have almost certainly made the ballot in this category last year, if not for various slate voting campaigns. I believe this year’s volume is just as strong, with even more content.
• Almost all of the essays started as 2015 guest blog posts, and are available to read for free online.

#

Unbound and Fable: Blood of Heroes are both eligible for Best Novel nominations.

#

In the Short Story category, my story “Girls in the Hood” came out last year in Chicks and Balances.

#

And that’s it for me. If you only have the time or energy to consider one thing, I’d suggest Invisible 2. The contributors wrote some amazing and powerful essays, and I think the collection is both important and timely.

Whatever happens, if you’re eligible to nominate for various awards, I’d encourage you to do so.
