Don’t forget to nominate your favorite reads from the past year for the 2013 Cybils awards! Nominations close tomorrow. If something has already been nominated, feel free to nominate another favorite (multiple nominations don’t make a difference, and they use up your nomination spots, so try to find something that’s eligible that hasn’t been celebrated yet).

Diverse Worlds grant for SF/F authors
Via my friend Faye:
…My friend Ellen in Orbit and I are running the New York City marathon this November and decided to raise funds for a charity. I know diversity in SF/F — especially women in SF/F, is a passion for all of you, so I wanted to alert you to our marathon fundraiser – we’ve partnered together with the Speculative Literature Foundation to raise funds for a new grant called DIVERSE WORLDS, which is intended to help writers from backgrounds underrepresented in science fiction and fantasy to start and continue publishing at a professional level, both for children’s and adult.
Our page has some silly photos and more info about the grant. Please visit it here: http://www.crowdrise.com/diverseworlds
The marathon is on November 3. When I scheduled this, they’d made a little less than half of their goal–but I’m sure they’d like to surpass it!
