Neil Gaiman
For more than 20 years, Neil Gaiman has been one of the top writers of modern comics and is now a best-selling novelist. His work has appeared in translation in more than 19 countries, and nearly all of his novels, graphic and otherwise, have been optioned for films. He was the creator-writer of the monthly cult DC Comics series Sandman, which won many awards, including a World Fantasy Award. His novel for adults, American Gods (2001), was awarded the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, SFX and Locus awards. His children’s book, the international best-selling novel Coraline (2002), was the winner of the Bram Stoker Award and the Hugo Award. His most recent book is Anansi Boys (HarperCollins, 2005). He lives near Minneapolis.
