Nebula Awards Showcase 56 is on its way

Coming to an Online Store Near You! The much-delayed Nebula Awards Showcase 56, containing a selection of Nebula Award winners and nominees presented in 2021, will be on sale at Amazon and Bookshop.org before the end of the year. This release is a continuation of the longest-running continuous series of Best-of anthologies in speculative fiction, begun with the publication of Nebula Awards Stories in 1966. With an introduction by past SFWA President Cat Rambo, this volume represents a change in strategy for the organization that will result in a speed-up of our processes. This and future volumes will be edited by SFWA’s own Publications Committee. These new volumes will be jam-packed with the best stories of the year as chosen by members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association with fewer excepts and no filler.
