File 770 is a long-running science fiction fanzine, newszine, and blog site published and administered by Mike Glyer. It has been published every year since 1978, and has won a record eight Hugo Awards for Best Fanzine, with the first win in 1984 and the latest in 2018.[1]Template:Efn
File 770 is named after a legendary room party held in Room 770 at Nolacon, the 9th World Science Fiction Convention, in New Orleans in 1951.Template:Efn Glyer started File 770 in 1978 as a mimeographed print fanzine to report on fan clubs, conventions, fannish projects, fans, fanzines and SF awards.[1][2] In the 1990s, Glyer moved production of the fanzine to computer desktop publishing, and on January 15, 2008, he began publishing File 770 as a blog on the internet.[3]
A print version of File 770 was produced until 2016. eFanzines.com began hosting PDF versions of the paper issues in 2005.[3]
Awards
File 770 has won the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine eight times, in 1984,[4] 1985,[5] 1989,[6] 2000,[7] 2001,[8] 2008,[9] 2016,[10] and 2018.[11] It has received a total of thirty-one nominations over four decades.[12] Glyer himself has also won the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer four times for his work on File 770.[12] Writing in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Rob Hansen and David Langford described the zine as evoking a strong feeling of community.[1]

In his 2018 Hugo acceptance speech, Glyer recused himself and File 770 from future nominations.[13] The next year, File 770 received enough votes to qualify for the Hugo ballot; it was not listed due to the recusal.[14]
