This anthology includes 120 authors—who contributed 230 works totaling
approximately words of fiction. These pieces all originally
appeared in 2014, 2015, or 2016 from writers who are new professionals to the
SFF field, and they represent a breathtaking range of work from the next
generation of speculative storytelling.
All of these authors are eligible for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New
Writer in 2016. We hope you’ll use this anthology as a guide in nominating for
that award as well as a way of exploring many vibrant new voices in the genre.
