It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was posting information about the reading period for Science Fiction: Best of 2004 and Fantasy: Best of 2004. Well, we’re done and dusted. It’s over. Karen and I have closed the reading period for the two books and contracts for stories should be winging their way to a couple dozen people very shortly. It’s way, way too early to post lists – we may not be able to get some stories and these things change – but I will when I can. Now all I have to do is get those introductions and story notes done and we should get the books finished for the end of the month. Busy times.
