Graham Sleight was born in 1972, lives in London, UK, and has been writing about sf and fantasy since 2000. His work has appeared in The New York Review of Science Fiction, Foundation, Interzone, and SF Studies, and online at Strange Horizons, SF Weekly and Infinity Plus. His essays have appeared in Snake’s-Hands: the Fiction of John Crowley (eds Alice K Turner and Michael Andre-Driussi), Supernatural Fiction Writers (ed Richard Bleiler), Christopher Priest: the Interaction (ed Andrew M Butler), Parietal Games: Non-Fiction by and about M John Harrison (eds Mark Bould and Michelle Reid), and Polder: A Festschrift for John Clute and Judith Clute (ed Farah Mendlesohn). He’s been a judge for the Arthur C. Clarke Award for the last two years. In 2006, he began writing regular columns for Locus (on “classic sf”) and Vector (on whatever takes his fancy). He takes over from Farah Mendlesohn as editor of Foundation from the end of 2007. In his day-job, he’s Head of Publications at the Royal College of Pædiatrics and Child Health. Apart from attending his brother’s wedding, the highlight of his last year was finding that an internet commentator had said, of his NYRSF review of David Marusek’s Counting Heads, “[Sleight] believed he was being incredibly astute and insightful, but really he was trying to recruit Furries.” This is his sixth Readercon, his favorite ice-cream flavour is black currant, and his favorite Vaughan Williams symphony is no 5.
