The World Fantasy Convention is the event I follow most closely each year during awards season, and the personal Holy Grail that keeps me striving to continually up my game in my own writing goals. Every author I hold up as a personal influence and writing hero has won the award: Neil Gaiman, Tim Powers (one of five authors to have won twice), Gene Wolfe (another two-time winner), China Miéville, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Patricia McKillip (yet another two-time winner). Many, many more past winners and nominees are authors whose work I adore.
It's been a strange and humbling progression in my own career to begin seeing nominees over the past few years that I count as friends and personal acquaintances. I'm thrilled this year to be able to congratulate G.V. Anderson as the winner of the short fiction category, and a host of others for making the prestigious short-list. Here's a run-down of all the nominees and winners this year:
