	John W. Campbell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, Campbell's primary influence on the science-fiction field was as the editor of Astounding Science Fiction, a post that he held from late 1937 until his death.
		Campbell was regarded by many of the Astounding stable of writers as an important and encouraging influence on their work, and there are many stories in the reminiscences of writers such as Isaac Asimov and Lester del Rey of their interactions with him.
		Campbell convinced them that by removing the magazine "the FBI would be advertising to everyone that such a project existed and was aimed at developing nuclear weapons" and the demand was dropped.

		Campbell was well known for the opinionated editorials in each issue of the magazine, where he would sometimes argue quite preposterous hypotheses, perhaps intended to spark off story ideas.
		Campbell's concept of science fiction was defined both by the example of what he bought and published and by the editorials he wrote for Astounding (later Analog), his magazine.
		It was an extraordinary shock to Campbell and the field when the advent of space travel in 1957 had the opposite effect, of reducing the sf readership for a time.

	Campbell award (best novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike other major science fiction awards, such as the Hugo and the Nebula, recipients are selected by a jury.
		The award ceremony has been held in a number of places over the years, but since 1979 has been held at the University of Kansas, where it has become the focus of a weekend-long conference that also includes discussions of the writing, illustration, publishing, teaching, and criticism of science fiction.
		In 1994, no award was given; this was due to a breakdown in the nomination process, not because no novel was judged worthy.

		Bailey said the idea for the new award came to him when he realized that, while many of today's fans may be well read in contemporary areas of science fiction and fantasy, they often have no idea of the many great authors and their classic works who helped form the genre.

		The John W. Campbell Memorial Award was founded in 1972 as a continuing tribute to his memory.
		The hope was that the award would carry on and expand the tradition that Campbell had started, that of assuring the literary growth and development of science fiction.
		The founders of the award, Harry Harrison and Brian W. Aldiss, had long been concerned by the fact that while SF had no limits to its scientific and technological explorations it was, to say the least, a form of writing of almost uniformly indifferent literary quality.

	SPACELIGHT: Campbell, John W. - personal data
		Campbell made his mark on Science Fiction as the unswerving "Science" Fiction editor of Astounding, beginning in 1937, and, a later version, Analog.
		Campbell was intimately involved with the creation of Dianetics in 1949, so much so that his wife, Dona, said it was the last straw and departed the marriage.
		Campbell was consumed by the belief that Dianetics worked and timed Astounding's article "Dianetics" in May of 1950 to co-incide with Hermitage House's release of the book Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health, by Hubbard.

	Whatever: The Other Campbell Award
		The finalist list for the John W. Campbell award is up, and congrats for my fellow 2006 Hugoites Charlie Stross, Ken MacLeod and Robert Charles Wilson for having their books make the final cut.
		This Campbell award is not the Campbell award I'm up for; the former is a jury-awarded prize for the best SF novel of the year, while the latter is a fan-voted award for the best new SF writer.
		Why two awards with the same name honoring the same field were begun in the same year is a good question (well, not really: John W. Campbell died not long before), but it certainly makes for fun cocktail conversation at SF shindigs.
