Welcome to the third part of the Nerds of a Feather 2023 Hugo Award Longlist. Today we take a look at the categories recognizing individuals for their body of work during 2022: Editor (Short and Long Form), Professional Artist, Fan Artist, Fan Writer, and the Astounding Award for Best New Writer
These selections represent the spectrum of tastes, tendencies, and predilections found among our group of 13 writers. As
a reminder, this list should not at all be considered comprehensive.
There are some truly outstanding editors, writers, and artists who will
not make our longlist because we couldn't confirm they produced enough
qualifying work, because the work they do is not genre-focused, or for
the very simple reason that we were not just familiar with what they did
during 2022.
We encourage you to think of this as a list of candidates
to consider alongside works which you are already familiar, nothing more
and nothing less. In addition, while we have done our best to check the
eligibility of everything here, some of these categories (*cough* pro
and fan artist *cough*) have eligibility requirements that can be hard
to triangulate from an outside perspective. If you think we've made any
errors in our categorisation, please get in touch.
Finally,
in the interests of being transparent, while it may worth noting that
we, the writers of Nerds of a Feather are individually eligible for the
Fan Writer category; because it is a conflict of interest, it would not
appropriate to include any of us on our formal longlist (feel free to
check out our Awards Eligibility post, though).
