BSFA Award Shorlist
Posted in BSFA Awards at 12:00 on 23 April 2025
I’m late to this this year.
The awards will have been made at Eastercon on Sunday but I haven’t been paying attention. I also didn’t receive the usual BSFA produced booklet but I think it’s now gone over to electronic only.
The main fiction categories’ nominees were:-
Best Novel
Calypso, Oliver K. Langmead (Titan)
Rabbit in the Moon, Fiona Moore (Epic)
Alien Clay, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Orbit) Removed from the ballot at the request of the author
Three Eight One, Aliya Whiteley (Solaris)
The only one of these I have read is Alien Clay and that has been withdrawn from consideration.
Best Shorter Fiction (for novelettes and novellas)
Navigational Entanglements, Aliette de Bodard (Tordotcom)
What Happened at the Pony Club, Fiona Moore (Fusion Fragment 8/24)
Saturation Point, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Solaris)
Charlie Says, Neil Williamson (Black Shuck)
Best Short Fiction
Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole, Isabel J. Kim (Clarkesworld 2/24)
The Portmeirion Road, Fiona Moore (Clarkesworld 5/24)
Unquiet on the Eastern Front, Wole Talabi (Subterranean 10/24)
Intrinsic – Extrinsic – Terrific, Aliya Whiteley (The Utopia of Us)
The full list of nominees is here.
