CoS PR stinking up the place!

Well a couple of hundred people would be natural I think. This thing is comparable to the movies Emmy, but for SF writers and illustrators. Where the movie industry is giii-normous and the SF book industry is of more humble proportions. In terms of people working in it, and dollars.

But Scientologys SF awards aren't the most prestigious. In fact I have never seen advertised on a book that it had won the WOTF award.

The awards I have seen:
The Hugo Award is the most prestigious (impression I get from reading lots of SF without having thought about awards at all). The Hugo is voted on by World Science Fiction Society (WSFS), which is fandom, which is the most avid readers.

The Nebula Award is another very respected award.

The Locus Index to Science Fiction Awards has a nice overview.. And this to say about WOTF:

That be becuz they pay the judges sum cash monies...which is one thing Hubbard squezzed out of everyone around him.........
