- Geoff Nelder is a British freelance editor and author of science fiction, fantasy and thrillers. He was born in Hannover, Germany, grew up in Gloucestershire, Britain, was university educated in Sheffield, Yorkshire and lived in Chester, Cheshire. He taught geography and Information Technology in Yorkshire and Cheshire, and was awarded a Master of Science for research into air pollution and climate. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society for his research, and he has had climate-related books and articles published. Much of his early work is humour-based, including his first published novel, the thriller Escaping Reality, based on a fugitive escaping across the British Northumberland Moors to the Lake District and on to Amsterdam. Most of his works are travel-oriented, for which he does extensive first-hand research. In 2007, his thriller, Hot Air, won a Silver Award for best unpublished novel by the World and Universal Academia (WUACADEMIA) based in Groningen, The Netherlands. Hot Air is being published by WUACADEMIA in 2008. Nelder’s short story, Sentinels – a first contact tale – achieved a commendation in 1987 in the Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. In February 2005 Geoff Nelder came first in the second short-story competition at Cafe Doom (an online critique community). In 2008, "Exit, Pursued by a Bee" came second out of over 160 entries in the Preditors and Editors Readers Poll for best science-fiction novel. It received a Top Ten Finalist badge. Geoff Nelder is a member of the Society of Authors, The British Fantasy Society, and is a critique member of the special interest group, Orbiters, in the British Science Fiction Association. Besides writing his own novels and stories, Nelder is a freelance editor and co-editor of the science fiction magazine, Escape Velocity.
