The BSFA Awards shortlists are out in the world, and I’m delighted that Abigail Nussbaum’s Track Changes has been shortlisted in the “Long Non-Fiction” category, against a very strong field:
Track Changes by Abigail Nussbaum (Briardene Books)
Spec Fic for Newbies Vol 2: A Beginner’s Guide to Writing More Subgenres of Science Fiction by Tiffani Angus and Val Nolan (Luna Press Publishing)
The Book Blinders by John Clute (Norstrilia Press)
Keith Roberts’s Pavane: A Critical Companion by Paul Kincaid (Palgrave)
JG Ballard’s Crash: A Critical Companion by Paul March Russell (Palgrave)
Paul Kincaid, of course, is an upcoming Briardene author; you can pre-order his Colourfields while you’re picking up your copy of Track Changes in the shop, or pre-order the Kindle edition via Amazon (I’ve had a couple of people ask about other ebook vendors, and I’m working on it).
But back to Abigail: this is also a good opportunity to note that Track Changes featured on the Locus Recommended Reading List, and was highlighted by Ian Mond and Graham Sleight in their year-in-review pieces; Ian called it, “a masterclass on how to construct an argument, tease apart a work of art, place that work in its social and political context, and do it with wit and heart.” So what are you waiting for?
