About the author

Born on February 4, 1938, in Washington, D.C., Ted White became a major figure in American science fiction as a writer, editor, fan, and critic. He was active in science fiction fandom from a young age and built a reputation that reached far beyond his own stories.

White worked professionally in publishing and is especially remembered for editing Amazing Stories and Fantastic. He also served as assistant editor at The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and his editorial work made him an important shaping force in mid-to-late 20th-century science fiction.

Alongside his own fiction, he collaborated on novels under other names and won the 1968 Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. Sources found during this search also note that he later became known as a music critic, adding another chapter to an unusually varied career.
