2009 Nebula Awards

The shortlists for the 2009 Nebula Awards have been announced. These awards are presented each year by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America across the categories of Novel (40,000 words or more), Novella (17,500 to 40,000 words), Novelette (7,500 to 17,500 words), Short Story (under 7,500 words) and Script (for a movie, TV or radio show, or a play). While it isn't actually a Nebula Award, the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy is presented at the same ceremony as the main awards. In 2009, Monster Blood Tattoo: Lamplighter by D.M. Cornish has been nominated for this award. You might remember that Justine Larbalestier won the Norton back in 2007 for her novel Magic or Madness.
