The Tiptree Award is especially pleased that the publishers of Rupetta have published a paperback edition of the book as a direct result of its receiving the award.As is traditional, Sulway received a check for $1,000, a certificate of winning, a box of home-made chocolates, a Tiptree t-shirt (designed by Freddie Baer), a Space Babe cloisonne pin, and a piece of original artwork. Rupetta‘s protagonist has a clockwork heart, we commissioned Carl Cone to make one for Nike.
