Terry Pratchett’s most recently published Discworld novel, Making Money, made it onto the just-released preliminary ballot for the prestigious 2008 Nebula Awards.

Making Money will be competing with nine other novels for the Nebula Award in the “Novels” category, for which works of science fiction and fantasy that are 40,000 words or more are eligible. Other novels competing for the award are Territory, by Emma Bull; Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow; In War Times, by Kathleen Ann Goonan; and Powers, by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Active members of the Science Fiction And Fantasy Writers Of America (SFWA) will vote on the preliminary ballot for works to advance to the final ballot, released in March, which usually consists of five to six works in each category. The final ballot is then voted on once more by active members for the winner, which is announced at the annual Nebula Awards banquet during the Nebula Awards Weekend. The Nebula Awards Weekend is occurring this year April 24-26 in Los Angeles, California. The cost of attending is $125 to $150. Non-members may attend.

Also announced are the receivers of the honors of Damon Knight Grand Master (Harry Harrison) and Author Emerita (M. J. Engh).
