Nicholas Schaffner Award for Music in Literature
6
A project of Schaffner Press
About
The Nicholas Schaffner Award for Music in Literature celebrates the life of the publisher’s brother Nicholas Schaffner, poet, musician, biographer and esteemed music critic, author of several books, including THE BEATLES FOREVER, THE BRITISH INVASION, and SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS: The Pink Floyd Odyssey. Nicholas, who devoted his life to music and literature about music, died at the age of thirty-eight. We have created this award to celebrate his legacy in order to encourage emerging writers whose lives and writing have been profoundly influenced by music.
