Here are 173 short fiction writers reviewed by Rocket Stack
Rank who are eligible for the 2018 Campbell Award. They were
selected from the 746 stories
reviewed by RSR in 2017 as well as the 821 stories
reviewed in 2016. There are many more new writers than the ones in this
list, but their stories weren't reviewed by RSR so they're not included here.
The writers are grouped by 1styear and 2ndyear of eligibility (78 and 95, respectively), then sorted by the author's
first name (even if it’s the second author who’s eligible). Eligibility was
determined by looking up the author on ISFDB.org and doing web searches for
those without an ISFDB entry. ISFDB data may be incomplete so it's best to
check the author's website for a bibliography before nominating. (Writers
with unclear eligibility identified since this article was published were
moved to the bottom of the article.)
Authors: If your story was reviewed by RSR in 2017 and you
are eligible
for the Campbell Award but your story is not listed below, please leave a
comment so we can update the list.
This chart gives you some idea which publications are most
likely to publish stories by new authors.

Thanks for the info. I've updated the spreadsheet. I'll wait a day or two for any other corrections and then regenerate this post with all updates.
DeleteHi, just a question: Why is Hanuš Seiner listed as in his 2nd year of eligibility? His stories were first published in 2017; nothing in 2016.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction. I've updated it in the spreadsheet and will regenerate the table soon.
DeleteBoth tables have been regenerated for the two writers above.
ReplyDeleteAimee Ogden is in her second year of Campbell eligibility.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I've updated the spreadsheet. I'll wait a day or two for any other corrections and then regenerate this post with all updates.
DeleteIn his editor's note for F&SF Jul/Aug, C.C Finlay mentions that "Afiya's Song" was Justin C. Key's first pro sale.
ReplyDeleteIn his note for F&SF Sep/Oct, he said that "We Are Born" was Dare Segun Falowo's first publication.
I only see 2017 credits for both Lorenzo Crescentini and Emanuela Valentini in isfdb.
That's all for now! :)

DeleteBoth tables have been regenerated for the five writers above.
ReplyDeleteMeg Elison (Big Girl, F&SF 11.12) is in her 2nd year of eligibility. She mentions it on her blog, and she's on Writertopia's Campbell page.
ReplyDeleteFixed with today's table refresh.
DeleteKatherine Arden for The Bear and the Nightingale, I believe she is eligible.
ReplyDeleteI believe you're right, but she's not listed here because Rocket Stack Rank only covers short fiction.
DeleteJeannette Ng is on my radar because of her novel "Under the Pendulum Sun", but ISFDB also has two short fiction credits for her - "Three Hundred Years" in Mythic Delirium, Issue 2.3, January-March 2016, and "Goddess with a Human Heart" in Shoreline of Infinity, Issue 8, Summer 2017.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, but we don't have reviews for her short stories in our spreadsheet so they can't be "auto-generated" for the tables in this article.
DeleteAccording to Andrea Tang, she's in her first year of eligibility.

Fixed with today's table refresh.
DeleteI've just read "The Bear and the Nightingale" by Katherine Arden. This is an excellent fantasy novel, imo, in case anyone is needing a Hugo novel recommendation.
