Finalists for this year’s Dragon Awards, voted by members of each year’s Dragon Con, have been announced. Winners will be announced on September 5th at the convention in Atlanta.
Last year’s winners included Andy Weir, Jim Butcher, T. Kingfisher, Larry Correia & John D. Brown, and Eric Flint & Charles E. Gannon.
Note that unlike virtually all other awards, the eligibility period for the Dragon Awards runs from the middle of one year (in this case 2021) to the middle of the next. Thus among novel categories this year, 16 of 40 titles were published in 2022 — with one of the others, Vonda N. McIntyre’s The King’s Daughter, first published in 1997 as The Moon and the Sun, winning a Nebula Award the following year.
