The Scribe Awards are a series of awards given annually to writers who write tie-in media based on TV shows, video games, tabletop and roleplaying games, and movies. There are multiple categories based on the medium of the tie-in and both original and adaptational work is considered. Beginning in 2007, the awards are hosted by the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. [1]

The awards have had multiple notable franchises win or be nominated for an award, such as Star Wars, Doctor Who, Marvel Comics, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Star Trek. [2] [3] Authors such as Alan Dean Foster and Tim Lebbon have won awards. [4] [5]

In 2008, 2009, and 2023, the awards made an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. [6] [7]
