Mystery Writers of America (MWA) Grand Masters

R.L. Stine and Katherine Hall-Page have been named the 2024 Mystery Writers of America (MWA) Grand Masters. Stine said,

Tony Hillerman. Elmore Leonard. Mickey Spillane. Ruth Rendell: Those were the MWA Grand Masters when I first started attending the Edgar Awards over 30 years ago. If you had told me then I’d be on that list someday, would I have believed you? I don’t think so. I’m surprised and truly honored.

Michaela Hamilton, executive editor at Kensington and editor-in-chief at Citadel, won the Ellery Queen Award, established in 1983 to honor “outstanding writing teams and outstanding people in the mystery-publishing industry.”

They will receive their awards during the 78th Edgar Awards ceremony, to be held May 1, 2024 in New York. For more information, see the MWA website.
