CHANGES TO THE 2020 SCRIBE AWARDS...

The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers president, Jonathan Maberry announced that The Scribe Awards will not be presented at San Diego Comic Con as in previous years due to Covid-19 Coronavirus concerns. The Scribe Awards will be announced via Facebook Live instead. The date will be revealed soon. I have two books that were eligible so I am understandably curious to see if they made the nomination list. I will share more information on The Scribe Awards as I get them. Read Jonathan's statement below.

And now a word about Coronavirus and the Scribes…

For years now we’ve been presenting the IAMTW’s annual Scribe Awards at the wonderful San Diego Comic Con. Because of the growing danger of contagion from Covid-19, we will not have a presence at SDCC. Our Scribe Award nominees and winners will be announced via a real-time video event on our Facebook Group.

We will announce the nominees as well as the winner of the Faust Award in a few weeks.

The date of the awards will be announced at the same time.

Stay tuned for updates as they become available.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NANCY HOLDER!

Big congratulations to my friend and Domino Lady partner in crime, Grandmaster Nancy Holder, on being named the recipient of the 2019 Faust Award. Well deserved, Nancy! Congratulations!

Not many women get to play in over ten different universes, let alone create several of their own. Yet that is exactly what Nancy Holder makes look so very—and deceptively—easy to her myriad and devoted fans.

Every year, the International Association of Media Tie-In writers selects a grandmaster of tie-in writing to receive the Faust, IAMTW’s lifetime achievement award. For 2019, it is the IAMTW’s great pleasure to present the Faust to Nancy Holder. Her tie-in work runs the gamut from Firefly to Saving Grace. She’s written Angel in the Buffyverse, and Zorro in the seventeenth century. She novelized the Wonder Woman, Crimson Peak, and Ghostbusters movies, and wrote about a Feline Felon, and a pup in Wishbone. Above and beyond her media work, she’s co-created the YA series Wicked and Crusade.

Of the Bram Stoker award-winning and NYT bestselling author, IAMTW president Jonathan Maberry says, “Nancy is not only a superb writer and a smart businesswoman, but also a kind and compassionate member of the writing community.”

The IAMTW congratulates Grandmaster Nancy Holder on receiving the 2019 Faust Award.
