Awards season is here once again, with nominations now open for the Hugo Awards.

Having been fairly busy during 2016, I’ve been fortunate enough to help publish a number of what I think are really excellent works of fiction that I think are worthy of your consideration. It was a year when I edited a novel and three novellas for Tor.com Publishing, co-edited a collection of Alastair Reynolds short fiction, edited three anthologies,  appeared on and produced than 40 episodes of The Coode Street Podcast episodes, and acted as reviews editor for Locus.

Fiction edited in 2016

Anthologies

• Drowned Worlds (Solaris)
• Bridging Infinity (Solaris)
• The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Ten (Solaris)

As a guide, fiction in Drowned Worlds and Bridging Infinity are science fiction, as is Impersonations.  The three novellas are fantasy.
