BSFA (British Science Fiction Association) preliminary 2008 award nominations for non-fiction includes:

I haven't been able to confirm this yet, but the unconfirmed report made my day.

Good luck - when do you hear for certain?

Thanks!

I haven't the foggiest idea when the voting happens. Things have been so busy that I haven't had time to find out.

I've just found out that I didn't make the short list. But it was a delightful surprise to get as far as I did.

The winner will be announced on Saturday 11th April 2009, at Eastercon. May the best article win (since I'm out of the running!)
