The nomination period for the 2015 Hugo Awards and John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer <a href="http://sasquan.org/hugo-awards/nominations/">is now open, and you can find more information at this link</a>. Please keep in mind that you must have been a member of last year's Worldcon, OR be a member of this year's Worldcon, OR be a member of next year's Worldcon to be eligible to either nominate or vote.<br /><br />A lot of people have put up their eligibility posts, and you can check the eligibility of your favorite authors by hitting their personal blogs. <a href="http://seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/609538.html">I posted a list of everything I published in 2014</a>, and technically, it's all eligible, but let's be honest: that's a lot of stuff. If you were considering nominating any of my works, you're going to have a lot of reading ahead of you, and a probably split pool.<br /><br />(Mira, with one novel and one novella, is in a slightly less conflicted place.)<br /><br />Turning away from me, I would ask you to consider Sheila Gilbert for Best Editor, Long Form; Christie Yant for Best Editor, Short Form (the story of mine she edited, "Each to Each," is one of my best, and it's because of her); Chris McGrath and Aly Fell for Best Artist; <i>The Librarians</i> episode "And the Apple of Discord" for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short; and <i>Book of Life</i> for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long.<br /><br />What do you think people should be considering for this year's awards?
