The 2025 Hugo nominees have been announced here. This is one of the ‘big 3’ awards in SF/F (though there are many more) voted on by fans who attend the location-shifting event known as Worldcon.
Of the 6 novels nominated I’ve read 3, so I have some new titles to check out (until I got Long Covid I’d usually be more widely read and nodding along at the list, but due to my cognitive difficulties I’m just not reading as fast as I used to). I’ve only read 2 of the 6 novellas, 1 of the novelettes, and 1 of the short stories, so I have catching up. I’m particularly happy to see Rebecca Roanhorse on the best series list. I’h also happy to see Jason Sanford up for best Fan Writer, although I’m hoping his work in journalism in our field gets more notice.
Some new names to me in the Astounding Award for Best New Writer, which again delights me. New writers to check out!
Best luck to all the writers!
