Thank you!

Elizabeth (Alaska) Got these, too! Well done on editing an anthology that garnered so many awards!

Margrét Helgadóttir | 39 comments Hi. I noticed you’d registered this. Thank you! One small correction: The Starburst Award: The correct name of the award is:
Starburst Magazine’s Brave New Words.

Not Best New Words. It’s the first year they have this award. :) Starburst Fantasy Awards is actually a movies award. But Brave New Words Award is their book award.

It’s a personal award, to me for editing this book. So no category.

Alternatively you could call it:
Starburst Fantasy Awards - the Brave New Words Award

Margrét Helgadóttir | 39 comments And thank you! Aye, promising for a book just published :)

How about:

Starburst Magazine Brave New Words Award

I hesitate to put in the dash because that may create problems adding the award in the future.


Elizabeth (Alaska) We can word it however, if you'd like to make sure the Fantasy gets in there. Changing the name of the award is simple enough - especially this first year.

Margrét Helgadóttir | 39 comments Hi, yes your suggestion sounds perfect. No need to put in the Fantasy part.
Thank you!

Got it! Feel free to use these threads for any others these anthologies may win.

Margrét Helgadóttir | 39 comments Hi, I wonder if tou could help me add two shortlistings to this book? First is a shirtliating to Australian Shadows Award 2017 - the story The Hand Walker, by Rue Karney - shortlisted in the category Best Short Fiction. See announcement here: https://australasianhorror.wordpress.... The second is a shortlisting to British Fantasy Awards 2018 in the category Best Anthology. See announcement here: http://www.britishfantasysociety.org/... Thank you!


Elizabeth (Alaska) Sorry for the delay, Margrét. I got the awards in #12. If the book wins the British Fantasy Award, be sure to come back and we'll fix that entry.
