It’s the time of year when news of the contents of various annual Year’s Best short-fiction collection begins to emerge. So far, we’ve heard word of three Tor.com stories appearing in three different annuals:
Charlie Jane Anders’ “The Fermi Paradox Is Our Business Model” will appear in The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2011 (Prime), edited by Rich Horton.
Jay Lake & Ken Scholes’ “The Starship Mechanic” will appear in The Year’s Best Science Fiction, Volume 28 (St. Martin’s Press), edited by Gardner Dozois.
And “The Man with the Knives,” by Ellen Kushner, originally published as a stand-alone chapbook and reprinted on Tor.com on December 1, will appear in The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Five (Night Shade Books), edited by Jonathan Strahan.
Congratulations to all the authors involved!
Patrick Nielsen Hayden is a senior editor at Tor Books and, with Liz Gorinsky, one of the two fiction editors of Tor.com. Read more about him on the Tor.com About Us page.
