Unless otherwise noted, all works are as by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller

SERIES HUGO
The Liaden Universe® currently includes 23 published novels, and dozens of short stories. The very first Liaden Universe® novel, Agent of Change, was published in February 1988. The twenty-fourth Liaden Universe® novel, Fair Trade, will be published in May 2022. The series is qualified — perhaps overqualified — for the Series Hugo. Wikipedia article here.
Sharon, according to the Hugo Nomination ballot, the Novelette category runs from 7,500 to 17,500 words, which would put in “Our Lady of Benevolence” in the Novelette category, not the Novella one.
Thank you. I will make the change.
