Because if we continue to look at the Hugo's, there were fix nominees and three were pretty famous (Leckie, Scalzi and Wells) and three were not so much (Chakraborty, Chandrasekera, and Tesh) and out of those Emily Tesh won. She has three books published. The other two had two and four. And the Scalzi book was the one I didn't care for but he's popular and read, so I really don't feel the awarded vs read is an issue in speculative fiction as much as it is in movies. By miles and miles.Good stuff is being published, a lot of good stuff. Some gets noticed, some don't and that you have to dig a little because it's no longer 1970 with (roughly) 150 fantasy/sf books published in a year. There's a tonne of speculative fiction published yearly in all shapes and subgenres.</blockquote>
