Just got back from a week out of town and see the awards have kicked off to a sizzling start--over 200 stories nominated already, and this is, what, the 5th of June? (Just glanced at my calendar. Still says "May". Have the feeling that as soon as I flip the page, the holiday--working holiday though it was--will be officially over and I must plunge back into the impossibly busy schedule once more.)

I am sorry that I have no time to help out at present. Are there still jobs wanting volunteers, later in the summer? I can't do much after mid-September, but I'll have a run of less-tightly scheduled days in July and August.

I am glad nominations run until July--am going to be very busy, yet, through the end of June, but once July starts, hoorah, I will have time again for reading. And nominating. But probably all the stories I would have nominated will already have been nominated before July 1. Such is life. At least I'll be able to go right into reading, if that is the case. ...which brings up the question--I see there are links for "voting" or writing reviews or whatever we're calling it. Are these links active now? Can people start writing and saving draft/tentative reviews?

I'm sorry if this has already been hashed out on the list. I've been deleting more mail than I've been reading, the past few months.

Anyhow, cheers, everyone, and looking forward to summer reading!

All the best,
Lindelea

Hi Lindelea,

Yes, nominations have been coming in quite quickly! And a lot of interesting
stories have been nominated.

I appreciate your interest in volunteering. We will be sorting the stories
into categories and subcategories the last week of July and first week of
August. If you'd like to help with that, I'll be asking for volunteers after
nominations close on July 15. Beyond that... You're a great reviewer. It's
not particularly glamorous, but it's one of the most important jobs anyone
can do in these awards. You can always focus your time on that. *g*

Marta
