A good slate of winners from over the weekend
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association held its Nebula conference over the weekend in California, and as part of its programming was the Nebula Awards ceremony. It's one of the bigger awards in the SF/F world, and this year's slate of finalists was an excellent one.
Here are the winners:

All in all, a good set of winners. I was pleased to see Babel take home the award for Best Novel: that was one of my favorites of 2022. I was also pleased to see the announcement of the Infinity Award not too long ago: a way for SFWA to posthumously honor some of the authors who'd otherwise have gotten the Grandmaster Award in their lifetime.
