World Fantasy Awards Nomination Period Now Open + Free Stuff for World Fantasy Members

This year’s World Fantasy Awards nomination period is now open.

The World Fantasy Awards will be presented in Brighton, England during the World Fantasy Convention (Oct. 31 – Nov. 3). Deadline for nominating is and ballots must be received by May 31, 2013.

All registered members of the 2011 World Fantasy Convention in California, the 2012 World Fantasy Convention in Canada, and the 2013 event in Brighton will be eligible to vote before the deadline. If you didn’t attend one of the previously mentioned World Fantasy conventions, and you don’t plan to attend this year, you can still nominate by purchasing a supporting membership.

Already registered? Go and nominate your favorite works! Voting information is available on the World Fantasy Convention 2013 website.

To assist you in finding material to nominate, I’ve assembled this post to list everything that I worked on in 2012.

  • All of Lightspeed‘s original fiction from 2012 is available online (and also much of the 2012 original fiction is available as a podcast).
  • All of Nightmare‘s original fiction from 2012 is available online (and also much of the 2012 original fiction is available as a podcast).
  • Selected stories from Under the Moons of Mars are available online.

If you are planning and eligible to vote for the World Fantasy Awards this year, if you email me proof of your World Fantasy membership (i.e., your name is listed on the World Fantasy website as an attending member, or the email confirmation or receipt you received when you purchased your membership, etc.) I would be happy to make all of my 2012 content available to you in the digital format of your choice (doc, pdf, mobi, or epub).

After the jump, you’ll find all of the 2012 eligible stories/authors that either appeared in Lightspeed or Nightmare, or in projects I’m otherwise affiliated with.
