Connie Willis Novella in Asimov's and Sub Press

Connie Willis's novella "All Seated on the Ground" is in the December 2007 issue of Asimov's. Purportedly you can read part of it online at Asimov's (though I couldn't find it so, you know, good luck with that).

Subterranean Press has published it as a short standalone available in a signed limited edition and a trade edition. The cover (shown here) is by J. K. Potter.

Paolo Bacigalupi's Hugo Nomination

Paolo Bacigalupi's novelette, "Yellow Card Man," has won Asimov's magazine's readers' award for, you guessed it, best novelette. This story is also a finalist for a Hugo.

UPDATE: The winners were announced September 1, 2007, see them here.
