Griffith Named SFWA Grand Master
The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) has named Nicola Griffith the 41st recipient of the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award.
SFWA President Kate Ristau said,
It is SFWA’s honor to recognize and celebrate Nicola’s past achievements, while looking forward to her future triumphs. Her work continues to inspire and challenge me, and when asked to pick a Grand Master to lead us into our Diamond Year, I looked to Nicola for her stunning fiction, as well as her leadership and advocacy. She challenges us to reconsider the past and imagine a better, more inclusive future. She is the perfect Grand Master for our present moment, demonstrating through her life and work how to find one’s self, one’s purpose, and one’s community in complicated times, and to embrace those things joyfully and fully.
The award will be presented during the SFWA Nebula Conference, to be held June 5-8, 2025 in Kansas City MO and online.
