Nebulas! Part Two!

Okay, so there is a mighty slapfight brewing over the Nebula nomination process and what the jury ought to be adding to the ballot and so on and so forth. As far as slapfights go, this one might not even make it into my internet slapfight charity jello pit.

However, I do have a few questions about the Nebula proper that research isn't answering.

Does anyone have numbers on whether Nebs boost sales? Keep something in print longer? Are a factor in being offered later contracts or solicited for additional fiction, or in encouraging foreign sales? Does this award actually come with an honorarium?

Basically, what are the business impacts of award-winning on one's career? Are there any?

Is this just about geek cred?


Insights appreciated. :)
