Norman Arkawy

Norman Arkawy is known today mainly through his science fiction stories from the pulp-magazine era. Project Gutenberg lists several of his works, including Selling Point, which helps place him among the many magazine writers who contributed sharp, idea-driven fiction to mid-century genre publishing.

Reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources I could confirm during this search. I wasn't able to verify basic facts such as birth and death dates, a hometown, or a fuller publishing history, so it's best to describe him simply as an author remembered through the stories that remain available in public-domain archives.

That relative obscurity can be part of the appeal: his fiction survives even where the personal record is thin, offering a glimpse of the fast-moving, imaginative world of vintage science fiction magazines.
