SFWA Names Nicola Griffith as the 41st Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master

A tradition 50 years in the making: Nicola Griffith is our 2025 Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master

Can you believe it’s been 50 years since our first Grand Master was announced?

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) is proud to celebrate the longevity of this distinguished title with Nicola Griffith, our 41st Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master.

The SFWA Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award recognizes “lifetime achievement in science fiction and/or fantasy.” It is named after author Damon Knight, SFWA’s founder and the organization’s 13th Grand Master. Initially, the Grand Master wasn’t given out every year, but from 1975 to 2025 much has changed in our field, including the consistency with which we award this prestigious post.

This year, our Grand Master enters a role previously held by Peter S. Beagle, Connie Willis, Nalo Hopkinson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ray Bradbury, Anne McCaffrey, Robin McKinley, Joe Haldeman, and other legends of genre fiction who have been granted this title.

Nicola Griffith, PhD, is a dual UK/US citizen and the author of nine novels, including Hild, Spear, and Ammonite. In addition to her fiction and nonfiction (New York Times, Guardian, Nature) she is known for her data-driven 2015 work on bias in the literary ecosystem; as founder and co-host, with Alice Wong, of #CripLit; and for her work on queering the Early Medieval. Awards include The Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Society of Authors ADCI Literary Prize, two Washington State Book Awards, the Premio Italia, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Tiptree (Otherwise) awards, the Outstanding Mid-Career Authors Prize, and six Lambda Literary Awards. In 2024 she was inducted into the Museum of Popular Culture’s Science Fiction + Fantasy Hall of Fame.

Griffith lives with her wife, writer Kelley Eskridge, in Seattle, where she takes enormous delight in everything. This latest title, SFWA’s 41st Grand Master, is no exception:

“I am thunderstruck,” said Griffith, after receiving the news. “Amazed and moved and brimming with joy. I might never stop smiling.”

Widely acclaimed and bestselling author Karen Joy Fowler has known for years how much of a gift Griffith is to the literary community: “Ever since I first read Ammonite–back in 1993 when the world was young–I’ve made it my business to follow Griffith wherever she goes. And I have loved every place she’s taken me. She’s a writer who stuns. Incisive yet lyrical, pragmatic yet sexy, generous yet scary, always brilliant and, best of all, never ever boring. Every book she writes is one more bit of luck for us readers.”

SFWA President Kate Ristau resoundingly agrees:

“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. 50 years after SFWA named its first Grand Master, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Nicola Griffith as our 41st.”

The title of 41st Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master will be formally presented to Griffith during our 60th Annual Nebula Awards Conference, held June 5–8, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. Registration for the conference is now open here, and details on her panels and appearances will be available shortly at events.sfwa.org. We hope you’ll join us this year in celebrating Griffith’s achievements, and help us to usher in the next chapter of SFWA’s story together.

Nebula Conference Registration Now Open!

SFWA is excited to announce that the 60th Annual Nebula Awards Conference will be held in-person and online from the Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza, in the beautifully transformed downtown core of Kansas City, Missouri.

Conference registration is now open at https://membership.sfwa.org/event-6093098.

SFWA recognizes that the current political climate in the United States may leave some people uncertain whether they are willing to travel to the US in general, or Missouri, in particular. Kansas City has made explicit commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. For example, the Kansas City Council approved a resolution designating Kansas City as a “sanctuary city” for LGBTQ+ people. In 2024, Kansas City received a perfect score on HRC’s Municipality Equality Index for the fourth year running – an index which measures support for LGBTQ+ individuals throughout daily life. SFWA will also have both volunteer and professional security available to actively prevent and resolve harassment. We believe that Kansas City is a welcoming place for all writers, and we look forward to celebrating our diamond anniversary with all of you!

If you plan to join us in Kansas City, please use this link to book your room in the hotel block by Monday, May 19th: Book your group rate for SFWA Nebula Conference 2025. We encourage you to only book a hotel room after registering for the Nebula Conference. This courtesy to fellow attendees helps us to plan accurately for the big event, and keeps space open for those joining us in person.

In-person registration includes all online access. With every conference ticket, you can watch and listen to all recorded panels and presentations that took place over the weekend. We are looking forward to celebrating with our many members in other states and countries!

Our focus this year is to provide high level professional development, foster community and networking opportunities throughout the day and evening receptions, and of course, to celebrate our Nebula Award finalists and honorees throughout the weekend, especially at the Nebula Award ceremony.

Your online conference ticket helps support the programs and services that SFWA provides for not only its members but every SFF genre writer and industry professional. Thank you.

About the Nebula Awards®

The Nebula Awards® are voted on and presented by Full, Associate, and Senior members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. Founded as the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1965 by Damon Knight, the organization began with a charter membership of 78 writers; it now has over 2,500 members, among them many of the leading writers of science fiction and fantasy.

Since 1965, the Nebula Awards® have been given each year for the best novel, novella, novelette, and short story eligible for that year’s award. The Andre Norton Nebula Award for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction was added in 2005, followed by the Ray Bradbury Nebula Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation in 2009, and the Nebula Award for Best Game Writing in 2018. An anthology including the winning pieces of short fiction and several runners-up is also published every year.

2025 Service to SFWA Award Announcement: C.J. Lavigne

The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) is pleased to announce that the 2025 Kevin O’Donnell, Jr. Service to SFWA Award will be presented to C.J. Lavigne at the 60th Annual SFWA Nebula Awards® for her outstanding work on behalf of the organization.

C.J. Lavigne is a Canadian SFF writer who first volunteered as a member of the SFWA flight crew (tech support team) at the 2020 Nebulas, when the conference had suddenly gone online for the first time and everyone was still figuring out how to push the videoconferencing buttons. A month later, she offered to help run the weekly writing dates, where she has remained as part of the tech team for the last five years. In 2022, she became co-captain of the flight crew, in which capacity she has helped to run numerous online panels and parties, schedule committee meetups, organize volunteers, answer tech support queries, and maintain the events website. She has worked hard to ensure the Nebula Conference maintains a vibrant, accessible virtual and hybrid presence for any member who can’t attend “in person.”

SFWA President Kate Ristau says, “C.J. confidently and swiftly helped us navigate our transition to online in 2020, and she has continued to lead us forward in virtual spaces, using best practices, and a heck of a lot of kindness. She is focused, supportive, and very knowledgeable. We are lucky to get to work with her.”

SFWA is excited to honor C.J. this year at our conference in Kansas City, and we hope you’ll join in honoring her service to the organization either in person or online during the event.

2024 Nebula Conference Final Program Schedule

Please note, even though we are releasing this final programming update, the schedule is still subject to change.

Update: We’re currently aware of an issue where some names may not be showing up on the schedule due to a glitch. The team is working on getting that rectified as soon as possible!

All in-person panels in Pasadena will be streamed as hybrid events for our online audience.

If you volunteered to speak on programming:

We want to thank everyone for submitting your names to speak, and as always, we have a wealth of skills and talents to choose from! The programming team worked with hundreds of speaker surveys, matching interest and availability and built a truly stellar program for all of you this year. If you were not chosen to speak during the weekend, we do still have your surveys and should any opportunities arise during the year for additional paneling or programming via our special ongoing events, we may still be in touch!

If you submitted a programming idea: We’re grateful for the hundreds of panel topics and suggestions submitted for the conference! If your submission was not scheduled for this conference weekend, we may still be in touch about using it for an online panel later this year or during another event.

Author Meet-and-Greets. This year’s Meet & Greet assignments have also been completed. We tried to accommodate as many requests as possible, but due to availability and space constraints, not all requests were fulfilled. However, if additional slots become available, we will reach out to you with the opportunity. Please email programming@sfwa.org with any further questions.

Bookshop. This year we’re thrilled to partner with Vroman’s, Southern California’s oldest independent bookstore – since 1894.

Office Hours. This year, we are reviving the Office Hours program virtually and in person! During an Office Hour, hosts meet with attendees one on one to offer mentorship, hear pitches, share expertise in a specialized field, answer questions about their own work, and give feedback on others’ work (such as an author website, query, first pages, etc…). Hosts have already been matched with those who’ve entered the lottery and have been notified. There may still be slots available. If you would like to request one of the open slots, please look up the desired Office Hours slot on the link above and mail your choices to officehours@sfwa.org. Contact officehours@sfwa.org with any questions.
