The Hugo Awards will be presented at the 79th World Science Fiction Convention, DisCon III, in December. This event has promised a virtual programming stream for digital attendees as well as a special virtual attendance membership.

Congratulations to Alasdair Stuart, Best Fan Writer Hugo Finalist!


Hugo nominations have just been announced and we have an Escape Artist on the short lists, folks! Our very own co-owner, boss, keeper of the big red button and PseudoPod host, Alasdair Stuart is a finalist for the Best Fan Writer award!

Best Fan Writer is for work published in print or digitally for semiprozines, fanzines or generally available electronica media. Which is pretty much the part of Alasdair’s day job that isn’t Escape Artists so it’s great to see him make the list. Congratulations, boss!

The 78th World Science Fiction Convention will be held in Dublin, Ireland, from 15th to 19th August this year. The awards will be handed out there and Escape Artists will be present for the whole weekend so do come say hello. More details to follow.
