SFWA® Author Emeritus

SFWA inaugurated the Author Emeritus program in 1995 as a way to recognize and appreciate senior writers in the genres of science fiction and fantasy who have made significant contributions to our field but who are no longer active or whose excellent work may no longer be as widely known as it once was. The Author Emeritus speaks at the Nebula Awards® Banquet. When the invitee is not able to attend the banquet to speak, he or she is instead recognized as an Author of Distinction.

Fiction by authors emeriti is collected in the anthology Architects of Dreams.
