Denvention 3, the 66th World Science Fiction Convention, opened nominations for the 2008 Hugo Awards.

The dearth of women nominated for last year’s Hugos lead to a proactive response for the 2008 cycle, including:

• A list of women writers eligible for the major genre awards.
• The SF Book Swap to share eligible books.
• A Live Journal Community for reviewing eligible works (created as I write, by the people on the sofa opposite me.)

The deadline for nominations is March 1, 2008, so if you’re looking for books to read, check the sites listed above for suggestions, and blog your reviews.
