Hugo Award Packet 2018

The Book Smugglers are finalists for the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine! The Hugo Awards, presented annually since 1955, are voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Convention–aka Worldcon–which is also responsible for administering them each year. This year’s award ceremony will be held in San Jose in Thea’s home state of California, and we Smugglers could not be more excited to be included among the year’s finalists.
