Introduce Yourself : Fantasy and Science Fiction Novelist by Gary Nilsen

Fantasy and Science Fiction Novelist

Working with fellow writers while obtaining an MFA made it clear that being part of a community is better than working alone. Someday, I'd love to adapt my work into screenplays since I think some of my stories would translate well (then again, what writer doesn't think that?). Looking forward to connecting.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive 2026!!
