I can understand it, but it literally says please do. It is no guarantee that people will nominate your work, it is simply a list to let people know that your work is eligible.
Anyone can add titles, so at this stage, you can add your own titles to the list.
The suggestions list for this year’s British Fantasy Awards is now open! Anyone can add their favourite SFF titles first published in 2025! forms.gle/YcGUjcbU99R5...
#Booksky Birthday sale ends 1/11!
I'm so excited about this ... Eastercon in Belfast was brilliant, and now I'm going back to the same hotel as a Guest of Honour for the first Norncon in May. Alongside @aptshadow.bsky.social no less!
Memberships are available at www.norncon.org
Two books = twice the excitement!
I've got two! The first is Mercutio, from HarperVoyager UK in May. Before he meets Romeo and Juliet, a young man named Mercutio encounters a poet named Dante on a battlefield, and they accidentally open a door to Faerie.
The second, The Swordmaster, is part of the Vampires of Dumas series from Solaris, which Emma Newman began with The Vengeance. Mine is a distinct storyline from hers, and is set in the time of Catherine de' Medici. No date yet but probably late 2026. Thanks for the thread!
Cannot wait! My daughter and I both love these books so much:
Awesome. Love Gothic Horror!
My novella comes out with @lunapress.bsky.social on Feb 3rd ! Gothic horror set in an alternative Edinburgh, cursed with eternal rain and ghosts that appear in the rain. Also, rituals, occult, creepy house, and weird moths ✨️🏚 linktr.ee/lyndseycroal
Whole thread of fabulous books!
#NewYearNewBooks
okay open call, if you have an SFF romance coming out in 2026, and it's not grindingly heteropatriarchal in outlook and values, please tell me about it! I'm compiling my reading lists!
That would be awesome! Will look out for it.
If all goes well I'll have a small book about excellent highland cows coming out later this year:)
Sounds good. Love a giant wasp.
This Is Where The Future Bleeds, wherein a finder of destinies narrowly avoids her own murder and decides to prevent those responsible from getting to their next target. Come for the sapphic romance, stay for the giant wasps.
(June, Titan)
Love a posh boxed edition!
Well, I'll have a new volume of the work of Lord Dunsany coming out in the Autumn. Posh hardcover signed boxed edition then a trade . Also illustrating Rise From These Dark Waters from @badhandbooks.bsky.social
Shoreline of Infinity has for a long time now always given immediate access to the digital editions when you order the print copy - have often thought about jazzing up the print edition a little more.
That's brilliant, thank for letting us know. We should definitely shout about this more!
Anyone can now preorder our forthcoming editions of @naominovik.bsky.social's brilliant collection, BURIED DEEP. Full details and preorder here: subterraneanpress.com/novik-bdaos/
Sometimes reading helps me sleep, sometimes I stay awake to find out what happens next, but it is better than staring at the ceiling, lol.
Awesome.
I have an eco-thriller coming out from @shirakipress.com called Accelerated Growth Environment! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...
I clearly need to convince publishers to do a bundle deal for their books - beautiful hardback for signing and sitting my shelf & ebook for actually reading...
I am very signed up to the theory that collecting books and reading books are two very different hobbies...
