Awards Eligibility Post for 2025

Award season is upon us. The Hugo Award nominations are open. I would be pleased if you would consider my works for nomination. You must be a member of Worldcon (2025 or 2026) to nominate eligible works.

Award consideration: Best Editor, Short Form (Edited Gudnak Means War anthology, 4 Issues of Augment Magazine) Semiprozine: Augment Magazine by Jennifer Brozek, John Helfers, and Kathleen Hardy
TL;DR for Award Consideration

For your consideration, I am eligible for Best Editor, Short Form. I co-edited one anthology, Gudnak Means War, and I was the managing editor for 4 issues of Augment Magazine.

Also for your consideration: Augment Magazine is eligible for Best Semiprozine, by Jennifer Brozek, John Helfers, and Kathleen Hardy. Augment is a fully in-universe quarterly publication, and can be used in Shadowrun games as well as enjoyed by the casual reader. Everything from the art to the articles to the ads to the covers is in-universe fiction. Of all the award nominations, this is the one I am the most interested in and believe we’ve done excellent work. Augment your live with Augment magazine!

In specific, John Helfers, a long-time pillar in the publishing industry, is one of the hardest working editors I know. Honestly, it’s criminal that the last time he was nominated for a Hugo was in 2013. Kathleen Hardy, my art director, managed all of the artwork and ad copy for the magazine. This magazine wouldn’t be half as good as it is without her art direction. All of the contributors (artists and writers) did such excellent work. Also, no AI was used in any part of Augment Magazine.
