The nominees for the 2010 Scribe Awards (the fourth iteration of this award), presented by the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers (IAMTW), have been announced. The Scribe Awards "acknowledge and celebrate excellence in licensed tie-in writing—novels based on TV shows, movies, and games." The winners will be announced at the San Diego Comic-Con in July.
 The IAMTW has also named a Grandmaster Award recipient. "The highest honor the IAMTW can bestow is the Grandmaster Award, which recognizes a writer for his or her extensive and exceptional work in the tie-in field. This year's honoree is William Johnston, the writer of over a hundred tie-in novels and the most prolific practitioner of the craft." IAMTW explains Johnston's selection in this post.
IAMTW has modified the structure of the other categories, cutting the number this year from last year's six to four. This year's nominees are:
