Scribe Award Nominees Announced
The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers has announced the nominees for the 2020 Scribe Awards. Current IAMTIW president Jonathan Mayberry posted the list on his Facebook account. Winners will be announced on July 15.
The IAMTIW works to enhance the professional and public image of writers who tackle media tie-in fiction. The organization works with the media for reviews, and provides a forum for tie-in writers to share information and discuss issues related to the field. The Scribe Awards recognize excellence in the craft of creating stories within established media franchises. The IAMTIW was founded by Max Allan Collins and Lee Goldberg.
