Stephen T. Miller has won the 2014 Munsey Award. Nominated by the pulp community, Steve was selected by a vote of all living Lamont, Munsey, and Rusty Award winners. The award is a fine art print of a painting by David Saunders, presented annually to someone who has worked to better the pulp community. Dan Zimmer of The Illustrated Press published the print.
New Jersey resident Steve Miller has helped index the magazines for years. Along with Michael Cook, he compiled Garland Publishing’s Mystery, Detective, and Espionage Fiction: A Checklist of Fiction in U.S. Pulp Magazines, 1915-1974, an exceptional resource for collectors of not only detective pulps but also hero and adventure magazines. With Phil Stephensen-Payne and William G. Contento, Steve revised this classic index, issued on CD-ROM by Locus Press as Crime, Mystery and Gangster Fiction Magazine Index, 1915-2010. Also with Bill Contento, Steve compiled Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazine Index, 1890-2008, a guide to more than 900 different magazines, again published on CD-ROM by Locus Press. Additionally, Steve has helped with a great deal of pulp-related research, sharing his knowledge and collection with researchers. Congratulations to our 2015 Munsey winner, Stephen T. Miller.
This year’s other nominees included Ron Fortier, Joel Frieman, Chris Kalb, William Lampkin, Laurie Powers, the late Chris Steinbrunner, Mike Taylor, George Vanderburgh, and Dan Zimmer. Congratulations to all nominees for this prestigious award, presented annually at PulpFest.
