Thanks for the heads up! I've updated the info above with the link, due date, and new link for the 12 covers.
DeleteAnd that inspired me to go and make all of my per-magazine nominations this morning.
DeletePlease add me--R.S.A. Garcia--to your first year Campbell eligibility list. My first pro sale was The Anchorite Wakes to Clarkesworld in August 2019. My other publications were either paid for below a nominal amount, or were not to SFWA qualifying markets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know. This will be in the Feb 1 refresh of RSR's New Writers page.
DeleteThank you so much. And correction: the story was sold in 2018 not 2019.
DeleteDoesn't your 2014 novel, "Lex Talionis" disqualify you for the Campbell? Did it never earn $3,000 in a year?
DeleteYes that's correct. I never earned that amount from it.
DeleteSorry to hear that, but, I guess there's a silver lining in that you're still eligible. Thanks, and good luck!
DeleteRhonda, Congratulations on your story making the Clarkworld readers poll finalist list!
DeleteUgh! Obviously I meant *Clarkesworld*.
DeleteThank you! I'm over the moon about it!
DeleteA silver lining indeed!

Thanks! I've updated the 2018 Ballots and Annotated 2018 Locus Reading List for Short Fiction pages with links to highlight them. However, one or two were left off because they didn't score enough to make the RSR list and weren't in the Locus list.
