Nominations are now open through July 12, 2026 for the 2026 Dragon Awards. Anyone with a computer, or a smartphone, and an e-mail address can nominate and even vote for the award connected to the annual DragonCon in Atlanta, GA.
Tuscany Bay Books has two novels that are eligible for nomination in the Best Science Fiction and Best Fantasy categories.
Of All The Gin Joints In The Universe has been very well received by readers and reviewers alike. It is also slated to be the last sci-fi novel from Richard Paolinelli for the foreseeable future as he takes on several screenplay projects over the next few years.
As he was a 2017 Dragon Award Finalist for his first sci-fi novel, Escaping Infinity, we’d like to send him off on his new writing adventure as at least a Dragon Award Finalist in 2026.
John C. Wright won the very first-ever Dragon Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2016. His novel, Starquest: Spaceman in the Iron Mask, released in November, is eligible to be nominated in the Best Fantasy Novel category for the 2026 Dragon Awards.
We think, after a decade, its high time John picked up another one of these for his mantle.
And here’s how you can help both Richard and John out the best.
The 2026 Dragon Awards nominations are now open through July 12, 2026 and we’d like to ask you to consider nominating Of All The Gin Joints In The Universe for Best Science Fiction Novel and Starquest: Spaceman in the Iron Mask for Best Fantasy Novel.
It is free to nominate and you can even check a box under where you enter your e-mail address to sign up to receive a ballot a few weeks later in August. It will also be free to fill out and submit your ballot.
