Woohoo! SFWA has just released its Preliminary Nebula Award Ballot, which contains all works that have had signed, personal recommendations sent in by ten or more Active SFWA Members.

On the topic of how to move out of the slush pile, my editor David G. Hartwell says: “Get a personal recommendation. If Robert J. Sawyer comes up to me at a con […]
