Diana G. Gallagher
A Hugo-winning fan artist who became a go-to writer for the universes television fans loved.
Diana G. Gallagher was an American author best known for her prolific tie-in fiction across a wide range of television franchises, written largely for young-adult and children's audiences. Long active and beloved in fandom — she won a Hugo Award for Best Fan Artist (as Diana Gallagher Wu) and Pegasus Awards for her filk songwriting — she brought genuine fan devotion to her professional work.
She wrote novels in the worlds of Star Trek (including the Deep Space Nine adventure Arcade and a Voyager Starfleet Academy book), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Smallville, among others. Her one original novel, the space opera The Alien Dark, built a story around an alien civilization's own first-contact crisis.
Expect accessible, affectionate storytelling tuned to the shows her readers already loved. Gallagher is a natural pick for fans of media tie-in fiction — a writer whose deep roots in fandom show in work made with real care for the universes and the audiences she was writing for.
