Nominees for the Yellow30 Sci-Fi 2009 Pluto Award to be announced soon!

It's finally that time of year. Anxious small press authors want to know who will be the nominees for the third annual Yellow30 Sci-Fi Pluto Award.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PR Log (Press Release)Nov 20, 2009 – Yellow30 Sci-Fi is a strong supporter of  Biblical Speculative Fiction which encompasses the science fiction, fantasy and alternate history genre of writing.

So what is the Pluto Award ? After much deliberation by the staff it has been determined that the books we review needed some special type of recognition. Therefore we’ve come up with our own award to be called the Pluto Award.

Why the name? It would seem that after seventy-six years classified as a planet, Pluto would remain so. But in 2006 the IAU reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. The uproar over the reclassification put Pluto in the news for months. The staff thought the irony in the whole thing was much like the publishing industry. Small presses are regarded by the major trade industry as “dwarf publishers” and relegate any author from them as outside the sphere of the big names at the “big guy” publishing houses. Therefore the staff thought it appropriate to name our award after the planet - Pluto.

The nominees for the 2009 Yellow30 Sci-Fi Pluto Award will be announced on December 1, 2009. Three finalists will be selected on December 23, 2009 and the winner will be announced on January 5, 2010.
