This year’s Campbell Award anthology, now known as Event Horizon, is downloadable (for now) from this link. It includes nearly 400,000 words from 75 authors who’ve had their first professional sale in the past two years, including me. (My flash piece “Forget You” makes up almost 0.1% of the book.)
You will need to give your email address, but I know the guy behind it and I don’t believe he’ll abuse it (plus, you can always unsubscribe if he does).

I can’t be the only one who wants to know my full genome and what everything means. (But I, like most people, don’t want to pay $1,000.) Can’t wait.

The brief form of the eligibility requirements is “professionally published for the first time in the previous two calendar years”. The form links out to the full blah blah.
