Scribe Awards

The Scribe Awards are a series of awards given annually to writers who write tie-in media based on TV shows, video games, tabletop and roleplaying games, and movies. There are multiple categories based on the medium of the tie-in and both original and adaptational work is considered. Beginning in 2007, the awards are hosted by the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. [1]

The awards have had multiple notable franchises win or be nominated for an award, such as Star Wars, Doctor Who, Marvel Comics, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Star Trek. [2] [3] Authors such as Alan Dean Foster and Tim Lebbon have won awards. [4] [5]

In 2008, 2009, and 2023, the awards made an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. [6] [7]

Faust Award

The Faust Award is a special award presented to an individual author per year as part of the awards. They are recognitions for lifetime achievement within the industry. Notable winners include Michael A. Stackpole and Donald Bain.[8] [9]
