| 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. |
