EspañolGEORGE H. SCITHERS
'George H. Scithers' (born 1929) is a science fiction author and editor.
Scithers began publishing fiction in 1969 with the story "Faithful Messenger," which appeared in ''If''. His involvement in the field, however, dates back to 1959 when he began to publish the Hugo Award-winning fanzine ''Amra''. Several of the articles originally published in ''Amra'' were later collected in two volumes which Scithers co-edited with L. Sprague de Camp. In 1973, Scithers founded Owlswick Press, a small independent publishing company.
In 1977, Scithers was named the first editor for ''Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine''. He remained in that position until 1982 and won two more Hugo Awards for his work there. After leaving ''IASFM'', Scithers took the helm at ''Amazing Stories'', and edited that magazine until 1986. Leaving ''Amazing'', he worked with John Gregory Betancourt and Darrell Schweitzer to reestablish ''Weird Tales'' and now works on that magazine full time with them.
He is also very fond of owls and trains. He currently resides in Rockville MD.
