The 2007 Nebula Award Ballot

Posted by Rusty Published in Miscellaneous

The finalists for the 2007 Nebula Awards (which are awarded in 2008) have finally been announced. There are several longer pieces by famous short story authors, but I was mainly interested in the short story list:

• “Unique Chicken Goes In Reverse” by Andy Duncan
• “Titanium Mike Saves the Day” by David D. Levine
• “Captive Girl” by Jennifer Pelland
• “Always” by Karen Joy Fowler
• “Pride” by Mary Turzillo
• “The Story of Love” by Vera Nazarian

Be sure to check back after April 26 to find out which story won.

In case you didn’t know, the Nebula Award is voted on by members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Basically, it is an award by professional authors for professional authors.
