[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8149803, member: 6879661"] The Nebula award is presented by fantasy or sci-fi writers. When you’re comparing fantasy and sci-if to other genres then an award created specifically to recognize fantasy and sci-fi probably doesn’t count. There is the National Award for Fiction, I posted a link earlier. As for the Booker there are fantasy writers outside of America. Im not sure what the concern is? Is fantasy writing only American? I don’t see how being measured on your body of work disadvantages fantasy writers (unless some of it isn’t very good). But do you think bestowing benefit on mankind or take us in an ideal direction is a quality of one of the best authors. I’m genuinely interested now. Any major international book award awarded to a Fantasy novel? Costa Award (Former Whitbread Award?), Women’s Prize for Fiction, any others? Just out of interest? [/QUOTE]
