Award controversy of 2011

[edit]

In 2011, British writerSam Stone won the British Fantasy Award but returned it three days later after editor and anthologist Stephen Jones posted a blog entry pointing out that three of the winning entries (and many of the shortlisted works) were published byTelos Publishing, a company owned by David Howe. At the time, Howe was also chair of theBritish Fantasy Society, British Fantasy Award coordinator, and partner of Stone.[19][20][21]
