Sturgeon & Campbell Winners
June 29th, 2009 by Editors
The University of Kansas has release the winners of the two annual awards.
The Theodore Strugeon Memorial Award (for short fiction) has been won by James Alan Gardner’s “The Ray Gun: A Love Story” (Asimov’s).
The John W. Campbell Memorial Award was a tie between Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother (Tor) and Ian R. MacLeod’s Song of Time (PS Publishing).
Doctorow notes that he’s the first person to win both the John W. Campbell Memorial Award and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. Macleod’s book also won the Arthur C. Clarke Award. Read the official press release here.
Any word on the 3rd place winner for the Campbell? They always list 1-3 but in tie years they skip 2nd.
Not as yet. The press release doesn’t mention minor placings and the official award sites haven’t been updated yet.
Third place goes to James Morrow’s The Philosopher’s Apprentice (William Morrow).
