話說這是【冰與火之歌】作者 George R.R. Martin (HBO完結篇明年才會上)所創辦的第一屆【地球人獎學金】得主。
余卓軒 Worldweaver 他是出身於台北的作家，目前是多本小說的作者，也是獨立漫畫、手機遊戲的劇本作家，讓我們先恭喜他!
但話說這人跟我有甚麼關係呢?下面是來函照登。
【朱學恒大哥您好。我是余卓軒，是您創辦的2006年第三屆奇幻基金會小說獎佳作。
好像幾年前有跟您在臉書說過話（這是我新帳號）
總之，我還是有在做創作。
今年獲得了喬治馬丁（冰與火之歌）創辦的「地球人獎學金」(Terran Award)，受他贊助去了美國一個寫作營，也見到本人。這個獎學金是全球選一位母語非英文的幻想文學作家，我去投稿申請然後中了，很開心。
幾個月前，馬丁在他本人的FB和部落格也提到過。
今天我剛好看到之前最喜歡的龍槍小說，想到您，來說聲謝謝。
沒有您設立奇幻基金會的獎項，應該就沒有今天的我。因為青龍獎是我獲得的第一個文學獎。
雖然目前還沒有出過一本席捲世界的小說，但還是有持續在努力。
路還很長... 要努力。現在傳統奇幻小說 (跟隨魔戒那條路的) 算已經沒落了，所以我也在想怎麼樣能結合一些當代的新價值觀，以及比較新穎的設定。
感謝您。來說聲謝謝。】
收到信很高興，跟大家分享一下，哇哈哈!
From Terra to Taos
(Actually, the Toolbox is now in Angel Fire, but Taos works better with Terran).
Walter Jon Williams has picked the recipient of the first Terran Prize, the scholarship I am offering to bring writers from overseas to our Land of Enchantment.
Here's his official press release:
The 2018 Terran Prize, founded by George R.R. Martin and consisting of a full tuition scholarship to the Taos Toolbox master class for writers of science fiction and fantasy, has been awarded to Joey Yu.
Joey Yu was born in Taipei, educated in Vancouver, and now works in Shanghai as a freelance creator. He is the author of several novels published in China, including The Sunlight Trilogy of futuristic fantasy novels, The Mirrored Truth, and The Locus, which won the Excellence Award of the Taiwan Fantasy Foundation.
Joey has also written indie comics, mobile games and is the co-author, with Dr. Weiru Chen, of the nonfiction bestseller Platform Strategy, about the internet era and the evolution of business models.
Joey says, "I believe storytelling--- the science and art of developing immersive metaphors and symbolism--- is an important way (maybe the only way)--- to bridge cultures and inspire empathy. In all met works I talk about the importance of unlocking an individual's potential through challenging and reshaping the system."
Taos Toolbox will take place over two weeks this June in Angel Fire, New Mexico, and will be taught by award-winning writer Nancy Kress and Walter Jon Williams, along with guests speakers Carrie Vaughn, George RR Martin, and E.M. Tippetts.
