(Thanks especially to Roger S for providing several links to ToCs.)<\/p>\n<p>I've also added three new entries to that site (without ToC links, obviously) for planned 2008 volumes; if you know of others, let me know.<\/p>\n<p>In a couple of cases, the ToCs are not quite complete yet.  In one case, I didn't include a link to the not-quite-complete <a href=\"http:\/\/lcrw.net\/wordpress\/?p=140\">fantasy half of <cite>YBF&amp;H<\/cite><\/a> because my system doesn't allow for multiple Contents links for a single book; so I linked to the complete horror ToC for that book, and when the book's whole ToC is finalized I'll link to that.<\/p>\n<p>I've updated the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/Awards.shtml\"><cite>Strange Horizons<\/cite> Awards page<\/a> to list all the reprints that are public information so far.  I also finally updated that page to list Ellen and Gavin and Kelly's honorable mentions for <cite>SH<\/cite> stories (and a poem) from last year's <cite>YBF&amp;H<\/cite> (for works published in 2005); sorry to take so long to do that.<\/p>\n<p>I know that Awards page is not especially attractive or easy to read.  Working on a redesign.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, congratulations to all whose work has been chosen for reprinting.<\/p>\n<p>I have one general recommendation for published authors, regardless of where you've been published: Please keep your editors apprised of changes in your contact info, at least through January of the year following publication.  I know of a situation where a story might have made it into a YB if the YB editor could have contacted the author in time, and several situations where YB editors have had a hard time tracking down authors.  So to put it another way, whenever you change your email address you should tell any editors you've sold to recently.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The majority of the Year&#8217;s Best reprint volumes have posted tables of contents; I&#8217;ve been updating my Year&#8217;s Best info&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speculative-fiction"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3842\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
