“The biggest problem we run into is going, ‘This is who I
am, this is what I’m like, this is how I function’ while failing
to notice that you don’t do that anymore.” — Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) is the
bestselling author and creator of books, graphic novels, short
stories, film and television for all ages,
including Neverwhere, Coraline, The Graveyard
Book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, The View from
the Cheap Seats and the Sandman series of
graphic novels. His fiction has received Newbery and Carnegie
Medals, and Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Bram Stoker, and Will
Eisner Awards, among many other awards and honours.
His novelistic retelling of Norse myths, Norse Mythology,
has been a phenomenon, and an international bestseller, and won
Gaiman his ninth Audie Award (for Best Narration by the Author).
Recently Gaiman wrote all six episodes of, and has been the
full-time showrunner, for the forthcoming BBC/Amazon Prime
mini-series adaptation of Good Omens, based on the
beloved 1990 book he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett.
Many of Gaiman’s books and comics have been adapted for film and
television including Stardust (starring Robert De Niro
and Michelle Pfeiffer), Coraline (an Academy Award
nominee and the BAFTA winner for Best Animated Film),
and How to Talk to Girls at Parties, a movie based on
Gaiman’s short story. The television series Lucifer is
based on characters created by Gaiman in Sandman. His 2001
novel, American Gods, is a critically acclaimed,
Emmy-nominated TV series, now entering its second season.
In 2017, Neil Gaiman became a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR,
the UN Refugee Agency. Originally from England, he lives in the
United States, where he is Professor in the Arts at Bard College.
