PS Publishing nominations for World Fantasy Awards
Posted by Paul Raven on August 7th, 2008 at 8:36
Awards season rolls ever onwards in the world of genre... which is fine by me, because it distracts me from getting too jealous of all the people currently having a ball at WorldCon!
But here's some news that more than compensates for being stuck in the UK - PS Publishing makes some appearances in the list of nominees for this year's World Fantasy Awards. The full list is up at SF Signal, so I'll just snip out the ones from the home team:
BEST NOVELLA
- The Mermaids by Robert Edric [ hardcover - £10/$20 approx.; jacketed hardcover - £25/$50 approx. ]
- Illyria by Elizabeth Hand [ paperback - £10/$20 approx.; hardcover - £25/$50 approx. ]
BEST COLLECTION
- Dagger Key and Other Stories by Lucius Shepard [ jacketed hardcover - £25/$50 approx. ]
SPECIAL AWARD--PROFESSIONAL
- Peter Crowther for PS Publishing
On behalf of PS Publishing as an outfit, I'd like to say we're very pleased to receive these nominations - not just for ourselves but for the authors, without whom there would be no publishing houses, awards or conventions in the first place.
And on behalf of myself, I'd like to congratulate Peter - as our customers, you get to see the quality of product he insists on, but since joining the team a few months ago I've been able to see the almost inhuman amount of work that he and the rest of the PS Publishing crew put in to make it happen. I'm half-convinced that Peter doesn't actually sleep like normal people...
As the links indicate, we still have some copies of the nominated works available to purchase, so click on through to snare one - we're finding that nominations for awards tend to provoke an uptick in sales, so you may want to move fast to avoid being disappointed!
(The Lucius Shepard collection comes with my personal recommendation, for what that's worth - I don't usually read dark fantasy, but I absolutely loved these stories.)
