 GARDNER R. Dozois was born July 23, 1947, in Salem, Massachusetts, his ancestry conveniently half Irish and the remainder an amalgamation of French, Scottish, Dutch and American Indian.
He spent three years of army service as a military journalist in Nuremberg, Germany, and since then he has worked as journalist, radio and TV broadcaster, busboy, IBM card filer, and editorial reader for Dell and Award Books and UPD Magazines. Along the way he took part in amateur theatrics and dabbled in photography, anthropology, sociology, natural history and history, exercising his body in bicycling and swimming and his mind in worrying, and he began to write.
His first story was sold in 1966, and the total now exceeds a baker's dozen. In addition to the science fiction magazines, he has contributed stories to several volumes of the Orbit series, Quark 7, New Dimensions 1 and ll, and Universe l. His short story "A Dream at Noonday," was a finalist in the 1970 Nebula Award balloting.
Dozois is the editor of a collection of stories, A Day in the Life (1972). He is a member of Science Fiction Writers of America and the SFWA Speakers' Bureau, and he has been a guest instructor at the Clarion Writers' Workshop.
In the 1971 Nebula Award balloting his name appeared on the final ballot twice: with his novelette "A Special Kind of Morning" and with his short story "Horse of Air."
Dozois has also collaborated extensively with author Jack Dann. [edit]
