The awards were announced at the SFWA's annual awards banquet at the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City. Catherine Asaro's book The Quantum Rose won the 2001 Nebula Award for best novel. Other winners included Jack Williamson, an SFWA Grand Master, who won a Nebula in the novella category for his story "The Ultimate Earth." In the novelette category, the winner was Kelly Link, for her story "Louise's Ghost". Severna Park's short story "The Cure for Everything" also won a Nebula award. For script writing, the award went to James Schamus, Kuo Jung Tsai, and Hui-Ling Wang for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The SFWA presented a special President's Award to publisher Betty Ballantine to honor her for her service in the science fiction field. Betty and her husband Ian Ballantine founded Ballantine Books, which was one of the earliest publishing imprints to publish a mass market paperback line of science fiction novels. The Nebula Awards are voted on, and presented by, active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. Founded as the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1965 by Damon Knight, the organization has over 1,400 members, among them most of the leading writers of science fiction and fantasy.
