Stanley Gimble

Stanley Gimble is a hard-to-trace American science-fiction writer whose surviving public record appears to be very slim. The clearest confirmed bibliographic detail is that he wrote Breakaway, a short story originally published in the December 1955 issue of Astounding Science Fiction and later made available by Project Gutenberg.

Because so little biographical information is readily documented in reliable public sources, it is safest to describe him through that work rather than make larger claims about his life or career. Breakaway has remained visible through free digital editions and science-fiction listings, which suggests a modest but lasting place in the magazine-SF tradition of the 1950s.

No clearly verified portrait image of this specific author was found from the sources checked, so a profile image is not included here.
