CONGRATULATIONS to all the finalists and long-listed works in the Sir Julius Vogel Awards this year! And thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful people who nominated me in four categories!
My musings on what characterises New Zealand Speculative Fiction in the year the World Science Fiction Convention comes to Wellington: themes, publishers, and our writing. And my hopes that we see all the voices at the table at CoNZealand.
In February, I organised and chaired a panel on speculative fiction, publishing and CoNZealand, and talked on a Podcast about CoNZealand, a charity anthology I’m helping edit, and writing and submitting short fiction.
2019 has been a big chaotic year. Here’s my top 3 (or 4) eligible works of mine from 2019 in the short story and novelette categories. If you enjoyed them, please consider me in your awards nominations.
