eBook 2001 Author of the Year

Popular science fiction author Mike Resnick is Fictionwise's 2001 eBook Author of the Year. Mr. Resnick was the best selling author in 2001 and his works maintained an extremely high average rating from Fictionwise members. Larry Niven was a close second in the final tally and Robert Silverberg placed third.

"Mike Resnick has been a very important part of Fictionwise since we began in June of 2000," said Scott Pendergrast, co-publisher. "From the very start, he put his faith in us, which brought thousands of his fans to Fictionwise, as well as other important authors who followed his lead."

Mike Resnick said: "I've won Hugos and Nebulas and a lot of other awards, but I've never been voted anything like Author of the Year before. Given that these were all reprints, I feel like my career has just been officially validated, and I'm very grateful to Fictionwise and all its many readers."
