Well now, this is the way we like to start the week, wot?
Not just a British Fantasy Society's Short-List nod for Andrew Hook's Ponthe Oldenguine in the "Best Novella", but also a position in the short-list for "Best Small Press" for Atomic Fez itself! HUZZAH!
Considering the full list of those being considered was massive--and yes, everyone says the next bit, but it's honestly true--just getting on the list of the "best five" is an achievement-and-a-half.Considering that Atomic Fez is based 1/3 of the way around the planet to the west of the United Kingdom, and it gets even more amazing. "Right chuffed" is the way the entire offices of Atomic Fez feel just now.
...okay, it's just me, but all of me feels that way.
While Mr. Hook's is the only single title to be recognized, obviously the hard-work of all the authors in 2010 making their books as good as can be has been noticed, as the publishing house itself has been 'short-listed' for "Best Small Press". Thus, the collective effort by all of the authors over the previous year is what made the "Best Small Press" inclusion possible for this publisher. Hooray for all of them as well!
