Steampunk

The earliest novel featuring Steampunk tropes is usually considered to be the 1968 Keith Roberts novel Pavane. Other early authors include Harry Harrison, Michael Moorcock, and Manly Wade Wellman. The genre took hold in the 1980s with the works of Tim Powers, James Blaylock, and K. W. Jeter. William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, who had done much to establish the Cyberpunk genre, added to Steampunk's popularity with their 1990 novel The Difference Engine.

Steampunk elements can be seen in several motion pictures, such as Young Sherlock Holmes (1985), Wild Wild West (1999), Hellboy (both the 2004 film and the comic book on which it was based), Steamboy (2004), and others. On television, programs like The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., and Tin Man have a Steampunk sensibility.

Newbery Medal

"The Newbery is the Holy Grail of American children's book writers. There are other awards—the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, for example—but none comes close to conferring the cachet, the recognition, that the Newbery conveys."—Elizabeth CosgriffOpen Spaces: The Newbery Awards by Elizabeth Cosgriff

Martin said in October 6 that the manuscript was 1100 pages and "considerably more in partials, fragments, and roughs"
