Nebula Winners Thirteen is an anthology of science fiction short works edited by Samuel R. Delany. It was first published in hardcover by Harper & Row in February 1980, with a paperback edition following from Bantam Books in August 1981.[1][2]
The book collects pieces that won or were nominated for the Nebula Awards for novella, novelette, and short story for the year 1977 (presented in 1978), together with an introduction by the editor and a bibliography of winning pieces from the inception of the award through the award year covered by the anthology. All three of the winning stories for the year were included, but only a selection of the non-winning pieces nominated for the awards. The stories had originally appeared in the magazines The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Analog, and the anthology 2076: The American Tricentennial, edited by Edward Bryant.
