Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer

Hugo Awards

The Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer is the Hugo Award given each year for writers of works related to science fiction or fantasy which appeared in low- or non-paying publications such as semiprozines or fanzines or in generally available electronic media during the previous calendar year. There is no restriction that the writer is not also a professional author, and several such authors have won the award for their non-paying works. The award was first presented in 1967 and has been awarded annually. During the 52 regular and retro nomination years, 79 writers have been nominated; 16 of these have won, including ties. David Langford has received the most number of awards, with 21 wins out of 31 nominations. He was nominated every year from 1979 through 2009, and won 19 times in a row from 1989 through 2007. The other writers to win more than once are Richard E. Geis, with seven wins out of sixteen nominations; Mike Glyer, with three wins out of twenty-three nominations; Susan Wood Glicksohn, with three of eight; Harry Warner, Jr., with two out of seven; Wilson Tucker, with two out of five; and Bob Shaw, who won both times he was nominated.
Date Established : 1967
