Welcome to SFFWorld.com, one of the oldest genre websites featuring the best in Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. Here are a few of the people that make it all possible.
Dag Rambraut
The Norwegian that started the whole thing as a hobby back in 1997. It is still a hobby and the website is only made possible with the great help from people from all over the world.
In charge of technical stuff, organizing things and doing interviews.

Mark Yon
Mark has been a reviewer, interviewer and web administrator at SFFWorld for over a decade, but has been a fan for much longer. (He makes it at least forty years, although it could be longer.)
He has been published in the Fortean Times and has reviewed on the Orbit UK website, interviewed many of his favourite authors for SFFWorld and was involved in the setting up of the David Gemmell Award. He has led panels on SF and Fantasy at many UK conventions. When not reading, watching TV and movies, fighting dragons, ghosts, or travelling in time, he works in education.
Rob Bedford
Rob Bedford is the Lead US Book reviewer for SFFWorld, where he is also a Moderator in their discussion forums. In addition to over a decade’s worth of reviews at SFFWorld, his reviews have also appeared in the San Francisco/Sacramento Book review and Tor.com. He curatd the Orphan Black Rewatch at Tor.com and writes “The Completeist” column at SF Signal. His blog is robbedford.blogspot.com and he can be found on twitter @RobHBedford.
When his head isn’t in a book or writing about books, Rob writes fiction, runs, bowls, enjoys watching hockey, and is a beer snob. Rob is a lifelong resident of New Jersey the great Garden State, where he lives with his accommodating* wife (whom he met in a Science Fiction Literature course at Rutgers University) and their dog.
*She puts up with various stacks of read and unread books, thousands of comic books, and hauls his ass to local beer festivals, so yeah, he’s a pretty lucky guy.

KatG
Known also as the “Long-Winded Moderator,” KatG has spent way too many years and way too much time hanging around SFFWorld after they talked her into being volunteer staff. A former book publishing professional, she plays mother hen in the Writing Forum, runs SFFWorld’s Author Roundtables, and has contributed an occasional article and news bulletin.
Mark Chitty
Mark has been an avid reader for as long as he can remember, with science fiction being his genre of choice. Up until the end of 2013 he ran Walker of Worlds, a blog that focused on genre reviews and allowed him to shout about all the books he read and enjoyed. Other than reading, Mark can often be found on his PS3, trekking across all sorts of imaginary worlds to further escape the normality of day-to-day life. He also loves tea, and can be more than cranky if his day doesn’t start with a big mug of the glorious stuff. Mark’s blog can be found at markchitty.worpress.com, while his twitter handle is @chitman13.
Luke Brown
Luke is the newest member of the SFFWorld reviews team. He has been a member of the SFFWorld discussion forum for over a decade and a fan of science fiction literature for as long as he can remember. Luke has a particular interest in reviewing Australian science fiction and fantasy.
Luke was born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania. He now works in Canberra helping to provide support services to veterans with mental health conditions. He lives with his wife, two children, and a large chocolate Labrador named Seamus. Luke blogs at www.tangleofdendrites.com and tweets using @lukebrown2.
Victoria Rogers
Victoria wandered into the forum in search of new books. She found them. Loads and loads of them. She also found the flash fiction contests, and they roped her in. One day she was asked to join the team. Not really knowing why, but pleased nonetheless, she agreed. So now she spends her time here learning about books, honing her wannabe writing skills and shaking her fist at spam bots.
When not battling evil robots, Victoria spends her time cooking, laughing, and hanging out with her husband and dog somewhere in the land of Canada.
David Paul Hellings
David Paul Hellings is an English writer and author, as well as a film and football fan. He has travelled extensively, mostly across Africa, India, and SE Asia. He is currently working on a number of Sci-fi and Fantasy novels, one of which he’s pretty sure he might finish before he shuffles off this mortal coil. His favourite fantasy or horror books are the Moorcock Elric series, the works of Bram Stoker, HP Lovecraft, and early James Herbert. His favourite film directors are Kubrick and Welles. He likes Chinese food. He is also an avid gamer of AD&D and LotFP. On Twitter he is @HellingsOnFilm.
Shellie Horst
Shellie(@millymollymo) is a self-employed writer who is slowly returning to the SFF fold after completing a Creative Writing Degree. She’s most at home in the abbeys and castles of Yorkshire, though rarely too far away from a tea pot. A defender of yetis and a collector of dragons, she has also been known to write stories of her own from time to time.
Kate Coe
I’m a writer of fiction and fantasy, and I blog at writingandcoe.co.uk In real life I’m a librarian with a background in classics and law, I live with an engineer and very grumpy bearded dragon, and I fill my spare time in between writing with web design, gaming, geeky cross-stitch and DIY (which may or may not involve destroying things). I also read far fewer books that I’d like to, but possibly more than I really have time for.
Matt Mitrovich
Matt Mitrovich is the founder and editor of Alternate History Weekly Update, a blogger for Amazing Stories, a volunteer interviewer for SFFWorld and a Sidewise Awards for Alternate History judge. When not exploring alternate timelines he enjoys life with his beautiful wife, Alana, and prepares for the day when travel between parallel universes becomes a reality. You can follow him on Facebook, Twitter and YouTu
Juliana Spink Mills
Juliana was born in England but grew up in Brazil. Now she lives in Connecticut, USA and writes science fiction and fantasy. She watches way too many TV shows and loves to get lost in a good book. Her dream is to move to Narnia when she grows up. Or possibly Middle-Earth, if she’s allowed a very small dragon of her own. She blogs at jspinkmills.com and on Twitter she’s @JSpinkMills.
Jane Routley
Jane has had a variety of careers, including fruit picker and Occult librarian and lived in Germany and Denmark for a decade. Now she’s back in her beloved Melbourne and working for the railways. (All the live long day.)
She’s published four books and twice won the Aurealis award for Best Australian Fantasy Novel. Her short stories have been widely anthologized and read on the ABC. She’s written a blog about Flinders Street Station and another called Station Stories about her life staffing a railway station. Her current life ambition is to see an erupting volcano.
Adam Ganong
Adam is new to writing, a veteran to reading, and hailed as “Literally one of the oddest people I’ve met” by some guy he met on the street once. He’s a trained Audio Engineer from New Brunswick, Canada, and co-hosts The Rules Podcast: a podcast where he and his co-host brainstorm, discuss, and write a flash fiction story each, every episode.
He reads anything he can get his hands on, but has a soft spot for Sci-Fi and Fantasy. When not working on one of his many projects he’s probably re-reading The Name of the Wind and worrying that people think he’s boring. He tweets @adamganong2
Jackie Jones
Jackie is an award-winning author and entrepreneur from Barbados, with special focus on the creative industries specifically in the Caribbean region. Self-published works include The Wardens Series (Season One & Season Two), Secrets (Return of the Guardian), Jacob’s Apocalypse and Other Stories, and others of a speculative nature. She blogs, vlogs on good hair days, reviews books and TV series, and has been known to run aimlessly around Azeroth from time to time.
Dan Lee Abbott
Dan resides in east Texas but hails from Northern Arizona, where he discovered that chewing cactus was not the best occupation. He now promotes artist and works as a ghost writer while being co-founder of Black Sheep Art Studio, a Fort Worth local and non-advertised art group that works with everything from pin-up artwork to children stories. In his spare time he likes delivering pizza…
