About the Nebula Award

Best Novel, Best Novella and the Andre Norton Nebula Award for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction, nominees and winners. year is the ceremony year; nebulas.sfwa.org files each ceremony under the prior publication year, so the 2025 rows cite /award-year/2024/. Novel and Andre Norton rows were parsed from those official pages and cross-checked against sfadb.com; Novella rows were parsed from sfadb.com year pages and each title matched against the official page it cites. Novella keeps only novellas published as standalone books (print or ebook); those that appeared only in magazines, anthologies, collections or online are skipped, so Novella counts are lower than the official ballot and some years have no winner row. Linghun (2024 winner) is included because Dark Matter INK published it as a standalone book. Official typos fixed where sfadb and the books agree (The Yiddish Policemen's Union, The Hotel Under the Sand); Monster Blood Tattoo book two is listed under its own title, Lamplighter.
