Stanley Schmidt, born in Cincinnati and graduated from the University of
Cincinnati in 1966, began selling stories while a graduate student at Case Western
Reserve University, where he completed his Ph.D. in physics in 1969. He continued
freelancing while an assistant professor at Heidelberg College in Ohio, teaching
physics, astronomy, science fiction, and other oddities. (He was introduced
to his wife, Joyce, by a serpent while teaching field biology in a place vaguely
resembling that well-known garden.) He has contributed numerous stories and
articles to original anthologies and magazines including Analog, Asimov’s,
Fantasy & Science Fiction, Rigel, The Twilight Zone,
Artemis, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, American Journal
of Physics, Camping Journal, Writer’s Digest, and The Writer.
He has edited or co-edited about a dozen anthologies. Since 1978, as editor
of Analog, he has been nominated 22 times for the Hugo award for Best
Professional Editor. He is a member of the Board of Advisers of the National
Space Society, and has been an invited speaker at national meetings of that
organization, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the
American Association of Physics Teachers, as well as numerous museums and universities.
In his writing and editing he draws on a varied background including extensive
experience as a musician, photographer, traveler, naturalist, outdoorsman, pilot,
and linguist. Most of these influences have left traces in his novels and short
fiction. His nonfiction includes the book Aliens and Alien Societies: A Writer’s
Guide to Creating Extraterrestrial Life-Forms and hundreds of Analog
editorials, some of them collected in Which Way to the Future?. He was
Guest of Honor at BucConeer, the 1998 World Science Fiction Convention in Baltimore,
and has been a Hugo and Nebula award nominee for his fiction.
