Doherty Wins Heinlein Award

Tor Books founder Tom Doherty is the winner of the 2024 Robert A. Heinlein Award, given for “outstanding published works in science fiction and technical writings that inspire the human exploration of space.” This award is “in recognition of Mr. Doherty’s work in bringing the inspiring books of hundreds of authors writing about our future in Space to public awareness.”

The selection committee consists of science fiction writers and was founded by Dr. Yoji Kondo, a long-time friend of Robert and Virginia Heinlein. Winners receive a certificate plaque, a sterling silver medallion, and two lapel pins, all featuring the likeness of Robert A. Heinlein.

The award will be presented at Balticon in Maryland on May 26, 2024. Doherty “will participate in the Balticon program across Memorial Day Weekend.” More information about the award can be found here.
