The Wilburn - Thomas Award

From Scares That Care founder Joe Ripple:

In our time, we will experience the loss of our friends. It is important to remember the impact that each has had on our lives. But we must also never forget those who are still with us, who continue to strive not only for their own success - but the efforts they make to help others.

After talking with Brian Keene, I’m proud to announce that “Scares That Care!” has created “The Wilburn - Thomas Award” in memory of Jay Wilburn and Dave Thomas. This award will be presented yearly to the author that has strived to help other authors, and our community as a whole.

We are grateful to both Jenny Wilburn and Deena Dib for allowing us to use the names of Jay and Dave in our award. It is an honor to continue the memories of these fine gentlemen, and their support makes it that much more meaningful.

We look forward to presenting this award at the second annual “AuthorCon.”
