William W. Stuart

William W. Stuart was a science fiction writer whose known work appeared prominently in the early 1960s. Several of his stories were published in Galaxy magazine, including Inside John Barth (June 1960), A Husband for My Wife (August 1960), The Little Man Who Wasn't Quite (December 1961), and Star-Crossed Lover (April 1962).

His fiction continued to reach readers beyond the magazines. Some stories were reprinted in science fiction anthologies, and a number of his works are now available through Project Gutenberg, which has helped preserve his writing and keep it accessible.

Not much confirmed biographical information is readily available about Stuart himself, so the work tends to speak louder than the life. What does come through clearly is a writer active in the classic magazine era of science fiction, contributing clever, memorable tales during a lively moment in the genre's history.
