Neil Clarke is the Editor-in-Chief and publisher of Clarkesworld Magazine. His work at Clarkesworld has resulted in countless hours of enjoyment, three Hugo Awards for Best Semiprozine and four World Fantasy Award nominations. He's a current and three-time Hugo Nominee for Best Editor (Short Form). In 2012, Neil suffered a near-fatal "widow-maker" heart attack which led to the installation of a defibrillator and a new life as a cyborg. Inspired by these events, he took on his first non-Clarkesworld editing project, Upgraded, an all-original anthology of cyborg stories scheduled for publication this September. He currently lives in NJ with his wife and two sons.
