Pick the Steampunk Book of the Year!

The nomination period is now over. The final ballot will/should go live on December 14th. Voting will be open until December 21st at midnight EDT.

Nominations are now being accepted for the “Steampunk.com 2010 Book of the Year.” Let’s have some fun!

To nominate a book or books, just leave their names, one per line, in a comment on this post. I will add the nominations to the official tallies and remove them from your comment before it is posted here (to remove bias towards or against any early leaders). Note that since I have to strip out nominees and approve comments, your nomination may not appear for a little while.

A week from tomorrow the official voting will begin among the books that received the most nominations.

The author of the winning book will receive, um, something to commemorate their achievement. Not sure what. If any steampunk artists would like to contribute their talents in return for credit, that would be awesome! Leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. If not, a nice certificate might have to do.

In addition, I’d love to offer a giveaway of some sort to the voters. If any authors/artists/publishers/random bystanders would like to provide something, that would be fantastic! Again, leave a comment with contact info and I’ll be in touch.

In the end, this should be a fun exercise. Please help us make this a successful event and help us pick a solid choice. So, steampunks readers, let’s hear from you! Steampunk writers, rally your fans! Steampunk publishers, help promote your writers!
