more »The 2008 Nebula and Hugo award nominees have been announced. Links to most of the short works are listed below, and we are setting up discussion groups for each nominee. Both the Nebulas and Hugos have 'suffered' in recent years in terms of a shrinking readership. The objective of this group is to increase readership of the nominees for these 'best of SF' awards, particularly for the short form entrees (short story, novelette, novella).
The Hugo and Nebula awards are the 'academy awards' for SF, annually recognizing the best writing in SF. Hugos are nominated by readers (at the annual world SF convention), and by writers (the science fiction writers of america). The 'best' of SF, over the last 40 years, have been recognized by these awards.
If you like SF, or are interested sampling the genre and want to start with the best, join in. This group will be as active as the member's participation. If there is a lot of discourse, I will flag the discussion group to each of the authors who are nominees.
