Biography

An overview of my writing and editing in the SF field can be found here on the eidolon.net site: Steven Paulsen Biography.

For those of you wanting the ten second version here's a mini bio from the Aussiecon 3 Souvenir Book (edited by Marc Ortlieb) for the 57th World Science Fiction Convention: "Melbourne writer Steven Paulsen has an encyclopedic knowledge of Australian science fiction and, when he's not writing the stuff he's writing about it. He was an assistant editor for the Melbourne University Press's Encyclopaedia of Australian Science Fiction and wrote the children's book The Stray Cat, which has seen several foreign language versions."
