P. Schuyler (Peter Schuyler) Miller

Born in 1912, Peter Schuyler Miller was an American science fiction author, critic, and editor whose work connected early fandom, magazine publishing, and serious scholarship about the genre. He studied at Pennsylvania State College and later became known not only for fiction but also for a steady, respected critical voice.

Miller published stories in the pulp era and worked with important science fiction magazines, but many readers know him best as a reviewer. His long-running book review column for Analog earned a reputation for being informed, fair, and deeply read, helping generations of fans navigate the growing world of speculative fiction.

Outside magazine work, he was also active in organized fandom and helped found the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society. That mix of enthusiasm, historical knowledge, and careful criticism made him an important bridge between science fiction's earliest fan culture and its later, more mature literary conversation.
