Welcome to Gord Sellar Online!
Hi, I’m Gord Sellar, and I’m pleased to have you visit.
If you’ve found your way here after reading one of my latest fiction publications, like “The Country of the Young” in Interzone 219, “Wonjjang and the Madman of Pyongyang” in Tesseracts Twelve, or “Dhuluma No More,” in the October/November 2008 issue of Asimov’s SF, and recently podcast by Starship Sofa. You might be interested in reading more about these and other published stories here.
Perhaps you checked out my recent article on the intersection of SF film and popular protest in South Korea at Clarkesworld. If so, there’s more about that article, including links to more in-depth discussion and photos, here. I’ve got an ongoing series of posts about science fiction in Korea here, and other articles online, too — check out the sidebar.
Maybe you’ve found your way here after reading my article in the Korea Herald, or meeting me at the recent International Congress of Korean Studies where I presented a paper. If so, welcome: I’ve got tons of writing about Korea on my blog, and you can feel free to check out some of the links to series in the sidebar that may be of interest. The series of essays on which my piece in the Herald was based is here, for example.
You can learn more about my by visiting my bio. There’s a list of free stories and MP3s available online over on the sidebar, along with some of my best posts and a few post series on my blog that might interest you.
You can also see a complete list of my publications and check out the background information on short stories I’ve published. Finally, please check out my blog. (Livejournal uses may wish to use the Livejournal mirror of my blog instead.
(Note: the blog used to load at this address. So, return visitors, update your bookmark to the new main blog page if you prefer to arrive there instead of here.)
I’m also online (sporadically) at a few other places: photos at Flickr, a profile on Facebook, some columns and articles up at Cahoots magazine.
Finally, you can subscribe to a mailing list for very occasional announcements regarding publications and other news using the form in the sidebar.
