Todd McCaffrey became a Writers of the Future judge in 2011 “The Writers of the Future is one of the premier awards that’s available particularly to new writers. It’s basically the only one there. This is a chance to open up the universe to reward people who are trying and striving and succeeding in creating great stories, to reward them with more than just a pat on the back to actually some monetary reward and some recognition and to give them a leg up into the world of a professional writer.” —Todd McCaffrey
