Emily Tesh Level 3 No No 4 0 Yes Also had a prior nomination for the same award. A win for Best New Writer is arguably a statement about critical acceptance as well as notability in the genre, and should make one notable. Statistically, all of the winners of this award (except for Emily) have a Wikipedia article.
