The new SFWA leadership, continuing their streak of getting things done really early, have named M.J. Engh as the Author Emerita at the 2009 Nebula Awards Weekend next April in LA.
Two quick points:
1) the title given to female honorees has changed; last year Ardath Mayhar was an "Emeritus," like the men who preceded her.
2) I still like the idea of the program -- honoring fine writers who are half-forgotten now, and aren't really at the "Grand Master" level, but still did some fine work -- but the name, as always, is ill-chosen.
