JULY 26, 2022 - One of the features of San Diego Comic-Con outside of the Star Trek panels (there are a few things in that category) is the announcement of the winners of the Scribe Awards from the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. A Star Trek novelist is among the winners this year.

Trek novelist and consultant Dayton Ward announced all the nominees and winners on his blog on Friday. The lone Trek entry to come away with a Scribe Award was John Jackson Miller’s Star Trek: Picard: Rogue Elements. Miller received the award for Best Original Novel – Speculative Fiction.

The only other Trek entry in the running was Star Trek: Coda, Book III: Oblivion’s Gate, by David Mack. Mack did, however, receive the IAMTW’s Faust Award, elevating him to the status of an IAMTW Grandmaster.

Star Trek: Picard: Rogue Elements follows Cristóbal Rios a year after he left Starfleet following events aboard the USS ibn Majid and years before he meets up with Jean-Luc Picard.

According to their Facebook page, The IAMTW is “dedicated to enhancing the professional and public image of tie-in writers” in all genres, whose works “are original tie-in novels, comic books and short stories based on existing characters from movies, TV series, books, games, and cartoons or they are novelizations (books based on screenplays for movies and TV shows).”

Star Trek: Picard: Rogue Elements is available at Amazon or wherever you buy your books.
