As we gear up for the next Nebula season, I’m going to be building a new contact and media list for SFWA’s publicity efforts. If you run a blog, news site or newsletter and would like to receive press releases, please add yourself to the mailing list. Likewise, if you would pass this along to your contacts, it would be appreciated. The more eyes and ears we can reach, the better.
