Hugo Awards: Novel and Related Book (non-fiction or noteworthy fiction) The Hugo Award, also known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award, is awarded annually by the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS). Nominations and voting are by members of the WSFS. Most awards are for works published in the previous calendar year. The Novel award has been awarded since 1953, although two retrospective awards (for 1946 and 1951) have been awarded as well. Novel Award winners include science fiction mainstays such as Joe Haldeman, Kim Stanley Robinson, C.J. Cherryh, Orson Scott Card, William Gibson, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Frederik Pohl, Ursula K. Le Guin, Larry Niven, and Robert A. Heinlein. The 2001 prize went to J.K. Rowling for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, moving out of the traditional science fiction base. Multiple winners of the Hugo include Asimov (3), Roger Zelazny (2), David Brin (2), Vernor Vinge (2), Fritz Leiber (2), Clarke (2), Le Guin (3) and Heinlein (5). The Related Book award has only been awarded since 1999. Winners have been: The Dreams Our Stuff is Made Of, by Thomas M. Disch (1999), Science Fiction of the 20th Century, by Frank M. Robinson (2000), Greetings from Earth: the Art of Bob Eggleton by Eggleton and Suckling (2001), and The Art of Chesley Bonestell, by Ron Miller and Frederick C. Durant.
