Aurealis Award Nominees
The Aurealis Award nominees were announced recently. The winners will be announced at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts in Brisbane on January 27. Gardner Dozois is going to be attending; good to see him back in Australia again.
The list of nominees is available here, but I’ve posted the novel nominees below. Probably Williams & Dix would be the SF favourites for Geodescia: Descent; they won the 2006 Ditmar for Ascent. Not sure about the fantasy.
