I don’t know anything about the Nobel process so I’m asking sincerely — DO people openly campaign for the award? Was that a thing that ever happened?

My children's picture book I've been working on for years is finally ready to be published. Details as and when.
Yes, yes, my pen name is Bampi Booboo... get it out of your system, I'll wait. It's what my granchildren call me and I'm okay with that.

I've decided to host my new short story on itch.io.
"I've been human too long..."
Eternal Salmon Sunset is a thoughtful, character-driven 6,500 word science fiction tale about identity, empathy, and what it truly means to live and love in a mortal body.
