Aliette de Bodard talks to journalist David Barnett following her double win of BSFA Awards for Best Novel and Best Short Fiction
Accepting Awards on stage are Jim Burns, winner of Best Artwork for the cover of Ian Whates’s novel Pelquin’s Comet, and Ian Whates himself of Newcon Press collecting on behalf of Adam Roberts, whose collection Rave and Let Die: SF & Fantasy of 2014 was the winner in the Best Non-Fiction category.
Aliette de Bodard remembers she has *two* prizes!
Following the announcement of the BSFA Awards I thought I would share my pictures with you of the happy winners, receiving their trophies at Mancunicon, at Manchester Deansgate’s Hilton hotel last week. This was quite special, as Aliette de Bodard became the first person to win both the fiction awards in the same year. Lucky for Jim Burns, too, as this was his thirteenth win in the Best Artwork category. And Adam Roberts was the Best Non-Fiction winner, having previously won the Best Novel Award for 2012 for Jack Glass.
