TROUBLEMAKERS
HARLAN ELLISON has been called “one of the great living American short story writers” by the
Washington Post . TheLos Angeles Times has said, “It’s long past time for Harlan Ellison to be
awarded the title: 20th century Lewis Carroll.” In a career spanning fifty years, he has won more awards
for the 74 books he has written or edited, the more than 1700 columns, the two dozen teleplays and a
dozen motion pictures he has created, than any other living fantasist. He has won the Hugo award 8½
times, the Nebula three times, the Bram Stoker Award, presented by the Horror Writers Association,
five times (including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996), the Edgar Allan Poe Award of the
Mystery Writers of America twice, the Georges Méliès fantasy film award twice, and the Silver Pen for
Journalism by P.E.N., the international writers’ union. He is also the only author in Hollywood ever to
win the Writers Guild of America award for Most Outstanding Teleplay (solo work) four times, most
recently for “Paladin of the Lost Hour,” 1987,The Twilight Zone . In March, 1998, the National
Women’s Committee of Brandeis University honored him with their Words, Wit Wisdom award. He
recently completed the screenplay for Dimension Films,Demon with a Glass Hand , to be directed by
David Twohy.
