Award Winning SF Novels

The Hugo Awards are decided by the members of the World Science Fiction Society. The Nebula Awards are similarly determined by the active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Both present prizes for the year’s best novel (40,000 words or more), novella (17,500 to 39,999 words), novelette (7,500 to 17,499 words) and short story (fewer than 7,500 words). They also give prizes for associated works such as dramatic presentations, and related works.

If we consider just the prize for the best novel, Lois McMaster Bujold is the clear leader with 6 Hugos and Nebulas to her name. Lois is followed by Joe Haldeman, Robert Heinlein and Ursula K Le Guin with 5.
