_BCS_ at Capclave this Weekend

[Scott H. Andrews]

BCS will be at Capclave, the D.C.-area SF/F convention (http://www.capclave.org/capclave/capclave10/), this weekend Oct. 23.

Scott will be on a panel about e-publishing, at noon on Saturday. And Saturday evening is the ceremony for the WSFA Small Press Award (http://www.wsfasmallpressaward.org/), for which a story from BCS--"The Pirate Captain's Daughter" by Yoon Ha Lee (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/story.php?s=56), from BCS #27--is a Finalist. Best of luck to Yoon!

I had a great time at Capclave (http://www.scotthandrews.com/wordpress/capclave.org) this past weekend! I met lots of readers of BCS, and several pros, including Guest of Honor Jeff VanderMeer and novelist Mindy Klasky, who'd heard great things about the mag.

I taped a radio interview with Jim Freund, host of the New York City SF/F radio show Hour of the Wolf (http://www.hourwolf.com/). It touched on my own fiction but mostly talked about BCS, including my editorial vision for the magazine and things I do in the BCS podcasts. It should air early next year.

Capclave also hosts the WSFA Small Press Award (http://www.wsfasmallpressaward.org/), for which Yoon Ha Lee’s BCS story “The Pirate Captain’s Daughter” (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/forums/../story.php?s=56) was a Finalist. The winner was an author from Australia, Tansy Rayner Roberts, whose Australian editor, Alisa Krasnostein, was on-hand to accept. It was an honor to be nominated, and I’m grateful to WSFA for having an award to acknowledge small presses and their authors. Thank you!
