I used derivations of the word ‘vote’ too many times in the previous paragraph.<\/p>\n
I haven’t read everything on the ballot, but looking through the list I realised that I have reviewed (directly or indirectly) a fair number of the nominations. So, for convenience I thought I’d list out links to my relevant reviews on one handy page.<\/p>\n
Note (with one glaring exception) none of what follows should be interpreted as particular support for any story, publication or person. It just happens to be the stuff I’ve looked at.<\/p>\n
Best Novel<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m currently reading\u00a0The Shattered City<\/em>\u00a0by Tansy Rayner Roberts Sadly I don’t think I’m going to get to\u00a0Burn Bright<\/em> by Marianne de Pierres by the time the voting closes.<\/p>\n I note Ben Peek’s impassioned attempt to climb to the top of the “times nominated but never won” category<\/a>. It’s too bad really – I liked Below<\/em>!<\/p>\n <\/strong>OK, strictly speaking I haven’t actually reviewed anything in this category but I’m going to mention Sean Wright, for body of work including “Authors and Social Media” series in Adventures of a Bookonaut<\/a>. I’ve really enjoyed Sean’s writing over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n Of course, everyone else in the category is excellent too. But, you know, go Sean.<\/p>\n While I haven’t done any formal reviews as such, I do describe the podcasts I listen to on my Podcasts<\/a> page. It includes very brief commentary about the four podcasts on the ballot (The Writer and the Critic, The Coode Street Podcast, Galactic Chat and\u00a0Galactic Suburbia)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n <\/p>Hi,\n Welcome to Mark Webb’s author website.
