Scott Pearson is a full-time freelance writer and editor working across multiple genres in both traditional and indie publishing. His published works include short stories and novellas in humor, mystery, horror, urban fantasy, and science fiction. His most recent publication is The Sad Rains of Mars: New and Collected Stories, which includes nine previously anthologized stories plus three stories exclusive to this edition. Forthcoming, with fellow author William Leisner, is their as-yet-untitled third volume of Tales of the Weird World War. Scott’s Star Trek fiction appears in a handful of anthologies and the e-book exclusive The More Things Change. Although he coscripted two IMAX space documentaries, Space Next and Touch the Stars, they’ve never been booked in his home state, so he’s never seen his name on the big screen. He was an in-house nonfiction editor for ten years, primarily of military history, before getting laid off and going freelance and shifting to fiction. He copyedited the Simon & Schuster Star Trek novels for ten years before becoming their developmental editor. He’s an editor and occasional writer for the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game and proofreads graphic novels and comic books for IDW, including their Star Trek titles. He also copyedits for Baen Books and works directly with many indie authors on their self-published books in the above-mentioned genres. Somewhere in all of that he hopes to finally finish his first novel. Scott and his wife, Sandra, live in the wilds of Minnesota.
