The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) is excited to announce that acclaimed author Erin Roberts, will serve as toastmaster for the 60th Annual Nebula Awards® Ceremony! The ceremony will take place in Kansas City, Missouri on June 7, 2025, and stream live on YouTube so that our global audience can partake in the latest adventures of Airship Nebula.

Erin Roberts tells stories however and whenever she can. She’s written short stories published by magazines including Asimov’s, Clarkesworld, and The Dark; built worlds and designed adventures for over 50 tabletop roleplaying game projects, including Nebula finalist Journeys through the Radiant Citadel; offered players choices as an interactive fiction and video game writer; and given characters a voice in scripts for projects including Zombies, Run! and the Yoto interactive children’s adventure Forge Your Quest.

When not telling her own stories, Erin helps others tell theirs. She’s taught creative writing courses for the University of Texas at Austin, Surrey International Writers Conference, and Clarion West; talked about the craft of writing in conference panels, on cruise ships, and between karaoke numbers; and shares her thoughts in a weekly conversation about the business and craft of writing as one of the hosts of the Writing Excuses podcast.

She’s honored to have this opportunity to celebrate the power of story in all its forms and to give some shine to the brilliant writers who bring new worlds to life and make ours that much brighter.
