A Publishing Flurry of Activity in the Science Fiction Department for Western Michigan University Physics Professor
ALLENDALE, Mich. , July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Less than a year after garnering top honors in the global L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest for new science fiction and fantasy writers, Allendale resident and writer Dr. Philip Edward Kaldon has been published 3 times in 2009. Twice in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #38 with his story Machine, then again in Spaceways Inflight Magazine #39 for his story In the Blink Of An Eye and in Analog with his story The Brother on the Shelf.
Dr. Kaldon was published in 2008 as part of the L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers and Illustrators of the Future Vol. 24 anthology (Galaxy Press, 2008) for his story A Man in the Moon.
In addition to his first professional publication and a contest cash award last year, Dr. Kaldon also took part in a week-long workshop sponsored by the Contest and led by members of the jury panel of award-winning and best-selling writers.
The part-time writer and Physics Professor at Western Michigan University continues to write as much as possible outside of classroom."
"Philip has used last year's Contest experience and put it to work for him," said Contest Director Joni Labaqui. "The reason that Mr. Hubbard started the contest in 1983 was to give unrecognized talent like Philip a better chance to make it in publishing."
Other past winners of the Writers of the Future Contest have had over 500 novels, 1,400 short stories, and selling an impressive 31 million books. The Contest was begun by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 shortly after returning to the field of science fiction with his bestseller Battlefield Earth.
