Tom Doherty, founder of Tor Books and chair of Tom Doherty Associates, publishing under the Tor, Forge, Tordotcom, Starscape, Tor Teen, and Nightfire imprints, is the 2024 winner of the Robert A. Heinlein Award. Managed and sponsored by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society with support from the Heinlein Society and the family of Dr. Yoji Kondo, the award honors "outstanding published works in science fiction and technical writings that inspire the human exploration of space." Doherty was specially cited for his "work in bringing the inspiring books of hundreds of authors writing about our future in Space to public awareness."
The award will be presented May 24 during Balticon 58, the 58th Maryland Regional Science Fiction Convention, to be held in Baltimore.
