World Fantasy Award short list
Published by Deanna Hoak August 13th, 2007 in blog, copyeditingI’ve made the World Fantasy Award short list for my copyediting. Wow. I think I’m the first copyeditor ever to be nominated in the “Special Award: Professional” category. I’m massively happy and touched.
A huge thank-you to Paul Cornell for organizing the campaign to get me nominated, and to all those who voted for me and offered quotes about my work. It really means a lot to me.
And congratulations, too, to everyone else on the list, especially Scott Lynch for The Lies of Locke Lamora. I copyedited that one, so I love it that it’s on the ballot in the same year I am. :-)
ETA: Oops! I almost missed one! I also copyedited one of the offerings in the novella category–Kim Newman’s “The Man Who Got off the Ghost Train.” :-)
Grats to everyone!

I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction. SF/F novels I have copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Golden Spur, John W. Campbell Memorial, Quill, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Science Fiction, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I was short-listed for a World Fantasy Award for my copyediting.
