Will McIntosh (William D. McIntosh, born January 31, 1962 in New York City) is a science fiction and young adult author, a Hugo-Award-winner, and a winner or finalist for many other awards. Along with ten novels, including Defenders, Love Minus Eighty, and Burning Midnight, he has published dozens of short stories in magazines such as Asimov's Science Fiction, Strange Horizons, Lightspeed Magazine, Clarkesworld, and Interzone. His stories are frequently reprinted in different "Year's Best" anthologies.

Life

[edit]

McIntosh attended the University of Georgia, where he received a Ph.D. in social psychology in 1990. He was a professor at Georgia Southern, where he taught psychology classes.[1] His research focused on topics such as internet dating and romantic relationships, "happiness and goals, collecting behavior, psychological aspects of film and television, and the relationship between psychology and Zen Buddhism."[2] In 2012, McIntosh moved to the College of William and Mary to teach introductory psychology classes and focus on his writing.

Writing

[edit]

McIntosh attended the Clarion Workshop in 2003. McIntosh's short story "Soft Apocalypse" was shortlisted for both the British Science Fiction Award and the British Fantasy Award. His story "Bridesicle" won both the 2010 Hugo Award for Best Short Story[3] and the 2010 Asimov's Reader Poll, along with being a finalist for that year's Nebula Award, while his story "Over There" won the 2014 Asimov's Reader Poll, and was a finalist for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award in 2014.[4]

His short story "Followed" was adapted into a film by director James Kicklighter in 2011.

Translations of McIntosh's novels have been published in China, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Taiwan, and Hungary.
