From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Scribe Award)

The Scribe Awards "acknowledge and celebrate excellence in licensed tie-in works based on TV shows, movies, and games (video games, computer games, rpgs)".[1] They are awarded by The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers, (IAMTW), and have been given out since 2007.[2] Where most literary awards are based on the calendar year, the Scribe Awards, since 2020, have an eligibility period based of March to February the following year.[3]

Sribe Award belomging to Paul Cornell

Awards are given in the following categories

  • Adapted Novel – General or Speculative
  • Audio Drama
  • Graphic Novel
  • Original Novel – General (mystery, action, adventure, literary, romance, comedy, etc., anything without a speculative slant to it)
  • Original Novel – Speculative (fantasy, science fiction, horror, paranormal)
  • Young Adult - Adapted or Original
  • Short Story

There is also a Grandmaster position, awarded annually to a writer who has contributed to tie-in writing. This is sometimes referred to as the Faust Award.[4]

The awards are juried, with the juries being made up of other members of the IAMTW. A different jury is in place for each category. The juries are not published.
