2018 Scribe Awards Results

On Friday, July 20, 2018, the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers (iamtw.org) announced the winners of the Scribe Awards, the professional organization’s annual “best of” list at San Diego Comic-Con.

A novel I co-wrote with Peter Wacks and Josh Vogt, Solar Singularity, was a finalist in the Original Speculative Fiction category. Alas, we didn’t win this time. It was an honor to be nominated in the first place, but getting beat out for the award in my category by this year’s Faust Award recipient, (the equivalent of IAMTW’s Grandmaster Award), Greg Cox, how can one be disappointed. Just being on the finalist list with this year’s Grandmaster was more than expected.

Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists! The winners are in bold letters.
