Life and career
Born in Lansing, Michigan, he was first active in science fiction fandom while living in Toronto in the early 1970s. He continued in Seattle, before moving to the New York area in the 1980s to work professionally in publishing. After moving to New York, he worked at Literary Guild as an editorial assistant, then at Chelsea House as an associate editor. He changed his last name to "Nielsen Hayden" on his marriage to Teresa Nielsen (now Teresa Nielsen Hayden) in 1979. He joined Tor Books in the mid-1980s as an assistant and has worked there ever since.
He has published a number of essays and reviews. He has contributed to a number of books and magazines, including The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (2nd edition, 1993) and The Map: Rediscovering Rock and Roll.[1]
He is one of the regular instructors at Viable Paradise, a science fiction writing workshop held on Martha's Vineyard,[2] and has also taught at both U.S. Clarion Workshops.[1]
He used to be active on the Usenet groups rec.arts.sf.* in the 1990s. Since July 2000 he wrote a blog, Electrolite, until it was incorporated into his wife's blog Making Light in May 2005, where he now writes along with her, SF writer James D. Macdonald, and SF fans Avram Grumer and Abi Sutherland.[1]
