Interesting about the award for Runte. Last I heard, he was a mucky-muck at Kobo Writing Life (Kobo's indie publishing platform). I think he also teaches at a university, too.

[I'm Murrin]

I'd guess that latter would be the capacity in which he was delivering a scholar keynote. Sounds interesting.
