\"Hey<\/a>
Hey boys’n’girls, be the first in your neighborhood to get one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nSo there’s this new book out. Up and coming: Stories by the 2016 Campbell-eligible authors<\/em>. There’s over a million words of fiction in it, and a bit less than 8000 of them are mine.<\/p>\n

The John W. Campbell Award<\/a> is for the best new SFF writer; it’s presented at the same ceremony as the Hugo awards, although it is not itself a Hugo. “New” is defined as making one’s first professional sale in the last two years; in this case, 2014 or 2015 \u2014 so this is my first year of eligibility. “Best” is defined by however nominators and voters choose to define it.<\/p>\n

The anthology includes work by most of the eligible authors, some 100-odd of them. (For a complete list, see Writertopia<\/a>.) It’s the result of a colossal, generous, and heroic effort by S.L. Huang and Kurt Hunt, and is available<\/a>, free of charge, from now until March 31, the deadline for Campbell nominations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
