Hosek Wins Service to SFWA Award
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) has announced the late James Hosek (October 13, 1964 – December 3, 2023) as the winner of the 2024 Kevin O’Donnell, Jr. Service to SFWA Award. The award is presented to “a volunteer of SFWA who best exemplifies the ideal of service to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.”
Deputy Executive Director Terra LeMay says,
It is often the case that SFWA’s programs are driven by volunteers who serve countless hours behind the scenes, and this is certainly true of our Nebula Awards, which depend on the tireless work of the Nebula Awards Commissioner (NAC). Elucidating the positive qualities that made Jim Hosek the perfect NAC—he was hard-working, ethical, level-headed, kind, scrupulously fair, and so much more…—would take far more space than I’ve been granted here. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with him and glad we were able to notify him of his selection for this award before his passing. He was one of SFWA’s very best.
Hosek will be honored during the weekend of June 6-9, 2024, at the 59th Nebula Awards Ceremony in Pasadena CA. For more information about the award, see the SFWA site.
