Max Allan Collins and Lee Goldberg have announced the formation of a new writer’s association, The International Association of Media Tie-in Writers (IAMTW).

But, as if that weren’t great enough on it’s own, they will also be giving out *awards* for best tie-in writing. “The Scribe Awards” will be given out for the best work in speculative fiction, suspense fiction, and young adult fiction. And there’s even going to be an award for media tie-in *grandmaster.* Gah, what a dubious honor that would be.
