2013 Elgin Award Nominations
Songs of Steelyard Sue by J.S.Watts is one of the poetry chapbooks nominated for the 2013 Elgin Award.
The Elgin Awards, named for Science Fiction Poetry Association founder Suzette Haden Elgin, are presented annually by the SFPA for books published in the preceding year. There are two categories, Chapbook and Book.
Books are nominated by members of the SFPA, who may not nominate their own books, but may nominate multiple books, and the books need not be by members in order to be nominated or to win. J.S.Watts is not a member of the SFPA, but is delighted that Songs of Steelyard Sue is a candidate for this award. A list of nominated books is posted on the SFPA website.
The nominations' deadline is May 1; the voting deadline is July 1. Winners will be announced on July 15 and the awards will be presented at WorldCon (LoneStarCon 3, San Antonio, TX, Aug. 29–Sept. 2, 2013), with the Rhysling awards.

The Art of Getting Published
Hoping to get your work published? Getting published is an art, not a science.
J.S.Watts has had three books published and has been poetry editor and poetry reviews editor for two magazines, so knows all about rejection from both sides of the fence. She will be talking about her experiences, and sharing the lessons learned, at an Allographic workshop on Sunday 24th March at 3pm at The Fountain, Regent Street, Cambridge CB2 1DW.
As far as practicable, the workshop will be customised to the needs of those attending, so whether you want to publish your first short story, a single poem, a collection of poems or a full-length novel, this could well be the workshop for you. Book early here to be sure of your place.

Radio Litopia Podcast and Interview
January seems to be the month for interviews. If you look through the previous posts on this page, you'll find that J.S.Watts has already done two interviews which have appeared in written blogs this month. Now it's the turn of talk radio.
If you're into the legal complexities of writing and publishing, Radio Litopia's latest "The Debriefer" podcast, "Lance The Boil" is worth a listen and if you listen all the way to the end you'll find J.S.Watts talking about "A Darker Moon" with Radio Litopia's Peter Cox.
