Writers of the Future Judge

Brian Herbert, the son of Frank Herbert, is the author of multiple New York Times–bestselling novels coauthored with Kevin J. Anderson. After his father passed away, Brian stood in for him at the second WotF Awards ceremony at Norwescon in Seattle-Tacoma in 1986. In 2003, he published Dreamer of Dune, the Hugo-Award-nominated biography of Frank Herbert; the same year, he himself became a Writers of the Future judge. Brian Herbert is the winner of several literary honors and has been nominated for the highest awards in science fiction. His recent SF trilogy, the Timeweb Chronicles, was published by Five Star, and his earlier acclaimed novels include Sidney’s Comet; Sudanna, Sudanna; The Race for God and Man of Two Worlds (written with Frank Herbert). With Anderson, he is currently writing an original SF trilogy, Hellhole.
The benefit of the Writers of the Future Contest is not only to individuals; it is to the community of SF writers as a whole, for such a program elevates the quality of SF writing by bringing on board talented future professionals. WotF, and SF writers as a whole, are a community of caring individuals. Any new writer who has been helped by such a program or by an experienced writer in other (non-WotF) situations is likely to be a better, more generous person. He or she will keep the memory of being helped, and will in turn extend a helping hand to others. — Brian Herbert
