  • Nebula Finalists Release
    For Immediate Release May 27, 2020 For More Information Kevin Lampe (312) 617-7280 [email protected] Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s 2020 Nebula Award Finalists THREE DAYS OF ONLINE VIDEO PANELS WITH REAL-TIME INTERACTION MAY 29 – 31 SFWA’s 2020 Nebula Awards will be one of the highlights of the SFWA Nebula Conference. This year's conference is transforming into an entirely virtual conference. It will be presented live and in interactive form from May 29th-31st. The innovative program will convey the essence of the in-person Nebula Conference, albeit in an all-online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The Nebula Awards Ceremony will be seen live online by people around the globe,” said Mary Robinette Kowal, SFWA President. “While the circumstances are difficult, we’re excited that the conference is more accessible than when in a physical location.” As part of the celebration of the Nebula Award winners, SFWA has partnered with audio-first entertainment studio Podium Audio to adapt, produce and distribute its 55th Nebula Awards Showcase Anthology, edited by Cat Valente, in audio format. A top publisher of science-fiction and fantasy audiobooks, Podium Audio is on the forefront of discovering new authors and voice artists from the U.S. and around the world. “Since the first publication of the Nebula Anthology in 1966, the yearly collection has only been available in print. Expanding into the world of audiobooks offers new opportunities for expression and outreach,” says Kowal. “We’re delighted to partner with the innovative and experienced team at Podium Audio.” There are multiple writing categories and their respective finalists for the 2020 Nebula Awards listed below and, of course, the Nebula Awards ceremony itself will stream live at 8 pm Eastern on May 30th.

  • Wordbrew 2016 Artist Lookbook
    ON NOVEMBER 20, 2016, the 4th annual “Local Author Showcase” was held at Acadia Café in Minneapolis, MN. The event was named Wordbrew (easier to hashtag) but the idea behind the event has not changed in its four-year run. There is an amazing diversity of authors here in the Midwest, working in a multitude of speculative fiction genres, and creating world-class stories. It seems a shame NOT to put a sampling of them on a stage and give them a few moments to make you laugh, cringe, gasp, shriek, or swoon. Therefore, Wordbrew—connecting audiences with their new favorite authors. Speed dating for fiction. Expanding on that concept, I’ve created this “Artist Lookbook” to commemorate the event. Herein, you’ll find profiles of the authors who read at Wordbrew 2016, and the best way for you to connect with them online. So Connect. Friend. Follow. Like. Retweet. Support. And I know you will, because there’s one more thing the Midwest has plenty of - awesome patrons of the arts like you. See you next year... Yours Darkly, Conrad Zero AIMEE KUZENSKI Aimee Kuzenski is an author of urban fantasy stories including The Golem Factory and The Golem Train. Her novel, Eye of the Storm, is written in the style of American Gods and the Sandman comics, focusing on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. akuzenski.com facebook.com/AimeeKuzenski twitter.com/aimeekuzenski MICHAEL MERRIAM Michael Merriam is an author, actor, poet, playwright, and professional storyteller.
