  SFWA named in lawsuit
posted by Markus on Monday March 26, @09:07AM ( Printer Friendly Version.| Email this article)
News The SFWA, who provide services to writers and administer the Nebula awards have been sued:

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. ("SFWA") has learned that it, along with a number of others, has been named in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey by Barbara Bauer and the Barbara Bauer Literary Agency ("plaintiffs").

With respect to SFWA, plaintiffs are asserting claims for defamation and interference with prospective business advantage for alleged statements made on the "Writer Beware" website. SFWA is a non-profit corporation providing assistance to the writers' community.

"Writer Beware," founded in 1998, assists the writers' community with balanced and responsible information on various literary issues. SFWA is investigating the claims, plans on vigorously defending its rights, and will respond through the litigation process.

Corpus Delicti is the appearance of Barbara Bauer on their Worst Agents list - somehow we feel that this lawsuit is not going to help their reputation, either...
