Hi Spera,

This post was meant to be specific to the works that Tor.com has published.

But that doesn’t mean would love for you to consider Tor novels, editors, and artists. You can check out the Tor corporate site here.

This year’s convention is Aussiecon 4, in Melbourne, but members from last year are also eligible to nominate and vote.

I believe that's incorrect: members of last year's con are eligible to nominate, but not to vote.

Martiniere hasn't done anything for tor that is eligible?

CES: Good catch. He did the collabs with Greg Manchess on the Lake/Scholes stories. I'll get him added here.

And that's just for Tor.com. He's done a bunch of book covers for Tor Books and many other publishers so he's definitely eligible.

And just might be on my own ballot. ;-)

Thanks Irene! Now all you need to do is change the incorrect spelling of martiniere's first name.

@ 9 ces

Those stories were published in 2010 and are not eligible for nominations this year. Be sure to nominate them next year though!

@ 10 Keshet

Again, these are for works published by Tor.com. Tor Books is a separate entity.

I think it's going to be a close race for Editor, Short Form. I can sense the tension.
