Burgold Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The finalists for the 2020 Hugo Awards (top prize in science fiction and fantasy) were announced yesterday and Nerds of a Feather, a journal I contributed an article to, got the nod. I contacted NoF about it and they said I was definitely part of their 2020 writing crew. So, while I may not be the captain of the ship or first mate... I'll take honor as a deckhand. Kinda cool.

gbear Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 That is awesome. We all knew you were a good writer, and it is a heck of a feather in your cap. If you guys actually win, it will be something you can use to promote future works (or even promote existing works. I see it on covers all the time with bylines like "by Hugo Award Winning Timotthy Zahn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearrock, Top 70 billion finalist for the Nobel Peace Prize Edit: Just wanted to clarify that unlike my imaginary nomination, that's really awesome @Burgold, congratulations! I remember when you first posted about your first book and getting things off the ground. It's so cool to see how far you've come. I don't think any parentheses is needed at all. Congrats again!

It's part of my nature... to crow while being simultaneously humble and self deprecatory Addition to the story, after asking NoF if I could lump myself in with their Hugo nod they asked me if I would write something else for them. I scribbled something out this afternoon and it's already been accepted. The only thing I'm struggling with is the bio. Bio writing is the worst.
