About
I've been writing speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, and light horror) for over twelve years, and also maintain a blog on WordPress (https://williammangieri.wordpress.com/) I have written a novel (Swordsmaster) and over ninety short stories, three of which ("Purr Mission", "Breathing is Overrated", and "Date Night") have made Honorable Mention in the Writers of the Future contest. I've also been published on Daily Science Fiction. Despite my planning background (I've been a project manager and a newsletter editor), when it comes to writing I'm known as what's called a Discovery Writer in gentile circles, a Pantser if we're not being so polite. My favorite part of fiction writing is starting off down the road and being surprised by where the story takes me.
