"We are pleased to announce that Brooke Bolander’s story for Lightspeed,
“And You Shall Know Her by the Trail of Dead,” which was previously announced as a Nebula Award finalist, is now also a Hugo Award finalist! Lightspeed is no longer eligible in the semiprozine category (which we won the last two years), but we’re pleased to report that your humble editor has been nominated in the Best Editor, Short Form category. And last but not least, Alyssa Wong whose story for Nightmare, “Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers,” is a finalist for both the Nebula and Stoker is a finalist this year for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. Major congrats to Brooke on the rare achievement of being nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula for the same work, and to Alyssa for netting a coveted Campbell nod in the same year she’s up for the Stoker and Nebula. Thank you so much to all of you who nominated."
