Thought I posted this already but I forgot (a lot happening haha). Thank you to every @bsfa.bsky.social member that nominated my work to the longlist (5 times!) and here's hoping some of them make it to the shortlist. Especially my collection CONVERGENCE PROBLEMS which is dear to my heart.

My piece for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social - on Christopher Priest’s superlative final novel - has appeared in the @bsfa.bsky.social awards long list. And alongside another piece about it, by @vallescurarule.bsky.social, to boot! Lovely. The more focus on, buzz for, power to Airside the better.
