Per yesterday’s post, this is a list of all works that have so far received at least one nomination for this year’s BSFA Award for Best Non-Fiction. This is a very open category: “any written work about science fiction and/or fantasy which appeared in its current form in 2009, in print or online” is eligible. And, as ever, send additional nominations with your membership number and/or postcode.

Not a member, but I think it would be awesome if “I Didn’t Dream of Dragons” got some recognition.
I’ll second that.
This is certainly an interesting array of candidates. In regards to a number of the Strange Horizons reviews that I’ve read, they were generally quite effective, but didn’t seem unique enough to be award winning. I’ll be very curious to see where this ends up.
