There is no cash prize associated with the award, the award itself being a transparent block with an embedded glitter spiral nebula; however, publishers seldom fail to mention that a novel won the award, and as a mark of acclaim by other science fiction writers, it seems reasonable that the Nebula, like the Hugo award, leads to increased sales.

It often happens, but not predictably, that the writers' award (Nebula) and the fans' award (Hugo) go to the same work.

Kelly Link's short story collection Magic for Beginners as a free CC download -- magnificent, weird, award-winning speculative fiction for free
Gavin sez, Kelly Link just released her second book, Magic for Beginners, online for a year under the Creative Commons license. 2 of the 9 stories aren't included due to contractual agreements but this is huge news because two giant companies, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (who published it in paperback) and HarperPerennial (who published the UK edition) have agreed to take a chance and be a part of the CC movement. Kelly's first collection, Stranger Things Happen, has been downloaded 60,000+ times since it was put online (and it still sells a couple of thousand copies a year) and the derivative works include audio versions, short movies, plays, and even a cello version of one of the stories...! Kelly Link's stories are some of the smartest, weirdest, freshest material being written in any literary field. The title story is just about the perfect explication of why fandom is so totally satisfying. Two of these stories won a Nebula award in the year of publication -- that's half the short story awards to one writer's stories from one book. This release coincides with the release of Kelly's new story collection, Pretty Monsters, which is every bit as good.
