SFWA Service Award
Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) President Michael Capobianco announced today that Melisa Michaels and Graham P. Collins will be honored with 2008 SFWA Service Awards at the Nebula Awards® Weekend. The award is made at the sole discretion of the President, and has previously been called the "Service to SFWA Award."
Both Michaels and Collins are receiving the award for the work they did on the SFWA website. Michaels single-handedly founded the website in 1995 and was Webmaster from 1995-2000. Collins took over in 2000, and was Webmaster from 2000 until he stepped down early this year. Both donated prodigious amounts of time and effort to maintaining SFWA's presence on the web, and were influential in making sfwa.org a valuable resource for members and non-members alike.
This is the eighth time that the award has been presented. Previous recipients were Chuq Von Rospach, Sheila Finch, Robin Wayne Bailey, George Zebrowski & Pamela Sargent (joint), Michael Capobianco & Ann Crispin (joint), Kevin O'Donnell, Jr., and Brook West & Julia West (joint.)
Prior to 2000, the award was a surprise announcement at the Nebula Awards banquet, but in recent years the recipients have been announced in advance.
