Question: Who wrote 2007's most prominent award given throughout the genre of romance fiction?
Context: The Encoding/decoding model of communication was first developed by cultural studies scholar Stuart Hall in 1973.  Titled 'Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse', Hall's essay offers a theoretical approach of how media messages are produced, disseminated, and interpreted.  As an important member of the Birmingham School of Cultural Studies, Hall had a major influence on media studies.  His model claims that television and other media audiences are presented with messages that are decoded, or interpreted in different ways depending on an individual's cultural background, economic standing, and personal experiences.  In contrast to other media theories that disempower audiences, Hall proposed that audience members can play an active role in decoding messages as they rely on their own social contexts, and might be capable of changing messages themselves through collective action.  In simpler terms, encoding/decoding is the translation of a message that is easily understood.  When you decode a message, you extract the meaning of that message in ways that make sense to you.  Decoding has both verbal and non-verbal forms of communication: Decoding behavior without using words means observing body language and its associated emotions.  For example, some body language signs for when someone is upset, angry, or stressed would be a use of excessive hand/arm movements, red in the face, crying, and even sometimes silence.  Sometimes when someone is trying to get a message across to someone, the message can be interpreted differently from person to person.  Decoding is all about the understanding of what someone already knows, based on the information given throughout the message being received.  Whether there is a large audience or exchanging a message to one person, decoding is the process of obtaining, absorbing, understanding, and sometimes using the information that was given throughout a verbal or non-verbal message.

The World Fantasy Awards are given each year by the World Fantasy Convention for the best fantasy fiction published in English during the previous calendar year.  The awards have been described by book critics such as "The Guardian" as a "prestigious fantasy prize", and one of the three most prestigious speculative fiction awards, along with the Hugo and Nebula Awards (which cover both fantasy and science fiction).  The World Fantasy Convention Award is a special award given in some years for "peerless contributions to the fantasy genre".  These have included authors, editors, and publishers.  Other, annually-presented special awards are given out for professional or non-professional work in the prior year in the Special Award—Professional and Special Award—Non-professional categories.  A Life Achievement award is also given annually.  The World Fantasy Convention Award was first presented in 1978; it was awarded annually through 1987 and again in 1997 and 2013.  It has not been awarded since, though it is still listed as an official category. The Golden Eagle Award (Russian: премия Золотой Орёл ) is an accolade by the National Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences of Russia to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, directors, actors, and writers.  Modelled after the American Golden Globe Awards, the formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in Russia, alongside the Nika Award.  The national Russian accolade is given out in 20 categories each January for motion pictures and TV series produced in Russia during the previous year.  The awarding statuette is a silver eagle, originally made from copper with a jade pedestal, and was designed by sculptor Viktor Mitroshin.  The design was later altered by the Spanish company Carrera y Carrera.  The award was conceived by Nikita Mikhalkov as a counterweight to the Nika Award established in 1987 and run by the Russian Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences in Moscow.

Amatory fiction is a genre of British literature that became popular during the late 17th century and early 18th century, approximately 1660-1730.  It was often spread throughout coteries, published while trying to remain true to the writer's vision without criticism.  Amatory fiction predates, and in some ways predicts, the invention of the novel and is an early predecessor of the romance novel.  Indeed, many themes of the contemporary romance novel were first explored in amatory fiction.  Amatory fiction work was dominated by women and considered to be mainly read by women; however given the popularity of the genre it is highly likely that men read these novels as well.  Given the likelihood that men also enjoyed reading amatory fiction, this could also contribute to the genres popularity.  As its name implies, amatory fiction is preoccupied with sexual love and romance.  Most works of amatory fiction were short stories.
