Track Changes was officially launched at the Glasgow 2024 Worldcon, this past weekend. Thank you to everyone who came along to listen to me and Abigail chat about her critical career, and sf criticism more broadly, and indeed to everyone who bought a copy during the convention, whether at the launch or in the dealers’ hall; and on that latter note, thank you to Alexandra Pierce of Speculative Insight and to Waterstones for stocking copies during the convention. If you weren’t at the convention you can order your copy from our shop, or from Amazon (UK, US). Also check out Abigail’s Big Idea post at Whatever for her take on how the book came together.
As for the rest of the Worldcon, that was good too: as you always hope is the way of cons, there were old friends and new friends, serious and silly conversations, and general good times. The winners of the Hugo Awards were announced, and in Best Related Work All These Worlds lost out to A City on Mars by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith, but that’s a fine book, and it was a very strong category overall. (Do pick up a copy of A Traveller in Time: The Critical Practice of Maureen Kincaid Speller if you haven’t done so already.) More importantly, there were other winners I was very excited about: in particular Strange Horizons winning its first Hugo, but also the Octothorpe podcast, Nerds of a Feather in fanzine, and Emily Tesh’s Some Desperate Glory in Best Novel. About which, more in the next post.
