Edmund R. Schubert is an American author and editor best known for his work in the fields of science fiction and fantasy, though some of his short stories are mysteries, including one that was a preliminary nominee for an Edgar Award in 2006 for Best Short Story. In 2015 he was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Editor (Short Form) but subsequently withdrew himself from consideration due to the block voting tactics which had been used to shape the ballot, stating that "I can’t in good conscience complain about the deck being stacked against me, and then feel good about being nominated for an award when the deck gets stacked in my favor. That would make me a hypocrite." He has also written for and edited several business magazines.
As a fiction author, Schubert has published nearly 50 short stories and one novel (Dreaming Creek, LBF Books, Oct. 2008). About half of his short stories are collected in The Trouble With Eating Clouds: A Collection of Mysteries, Magic, and Madness (Spotlight Publishing, June 2011). Schubert's stories cover a variety of genres, appearing in magazines and anthologies in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. His short fiction has been: included on storySouth’s Year’s Notable list; reprinted in The Writer’s Post Journal’s Year’s Best issue; a #1 rated story on Zoetrope.com; a preliminary nominee for an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Short Story; and First Prize Winner in Lynx Eye’s Captivating Beginnings contest.
Since 2006, he has been the editor of the online magazine publishing science fiction and fantasy, Orson Scott Card's InterGalactic Medicine Show, also co-editing with Orson Scott Card an IGMS anthology (Tor Books, Aug. 2008). A second IGMS anthology, the InterGalactic Medicine Show Awards Anthology, was published by Spotlight in Jan. of 2012, and a third in Dec. of 2013 by Hatrack Publishing. Schubert is also editor of and contributor to a non-fiction book about the business and craft of writing: How To Write Magical Words: A Writer's Companion (Bella Rosa Books, January, 2011).
