Hugo By Numbers

by on Mar.04, 2010, under Awards, My Writing, Writing

Just reminding people that my short story Reading By Numbers is eligible to be nominated for a Hugo. :-)

Sean Wallace, the co-editor of Fantasy includes the story in his nominations.

My story didn’t make the Nebula shortlist, but SF Signal asked the finalists if their own work hadn’t made it onto the shortlist what other stories they thought should have made the shortlist.

Rachel Swirsky mentioned my story. :-)

MIND MELD: More Nebula-Worthy Works of Fiction…Picked By Some of This Year’s Nebula Nominees
“I was also really taken by another debut story from Fantasy Magazine, Aidan Doyle’s “Reading by Numbers,” a formally experimental piece of fiction that plays with the intersections between mathematics and storytelling to create a story that’s both surprising and moving.”
