Richard Olin

Richard Olin was born in 1934 and is credited as a writer of science fiction. Reliable catalog and awards records link him to short fiction including All Day Wednesday and The Mischief Maker, the latter receiving a Nebula Award nomination.

The available public record on him is quite slim, so much of his personal life and career remains unclear. What can be confirmed is that his name continues to surface in genre bibliographies, online book catalogs, and award databases, suggesting a modest but lasting presence in science fiction magazine publishing.

Because biographical details are scarce, readers may know him best through the stories themselves: concise speculative fiction from the magazine era, with ideas strong enough to keep the work in circulation long after its original publication.
