World Fantasy Award Nominations: Susan Cooper, for Lifetime Achievement [May. 23rd, 2012|07:41 am]
    Susan Cooper is obviously well known for The Dark Is Rising sequence,
but she's also on the Board of the National Children's Book and Literacy Alliance,
a U.S. nonprofit organization that advocates for literacy, literature, and libraries.

It seems an oversight that she hasn't been given a Lifetime Achievement already.

World Fantasy Award Nominations: Cat Rambo, for Fantasy Magazine [May. 22nd, 2012|02:09 pm]
I've been distracted, lately, but I do want to do a quick shout-out, for the nonprofessional category, for:

Cat Rambo for Fantasy Magazine

Cat gave four years to editing and managing Fantasy Magazine,
so I think it'd be nice to give her a nod this year.
