Sean A. Wallace (born January 1, 1976) is an American science fiction and fantasy anthologist, editor, and publisher best known for his work on Prime Books and for co-editing three magazines, Clarkesworld Magazine, The Dark, and Fantasy Magazine. He has been nominated a number of times by both the Hugo Awards and the World Fantasy Awards, won three Hugo Awards and two World Fantasy Awards, and has served as a World Fantasy Award judge. ==Career== Wallace began publishing fiction in 1997, when he launched Cosmos Books, with Philip J. Harbottle. Their debut title, ''Fantasy Annual'', was a paperback magazine of British authors including E.C. Tubb, John Russell Fearn, and Sydney Bounds. In 1999, the "Cosmos Books" name was licensed to Wildside Press; output greatly increased, expanding with American and Australian authors. Wallace also became a freelance editor for Wildside Press, working from Ohio. In mid-2001, Wallace stepped in to assist an ailing publishing company, Imaginary Worlds, though commercial conditions ultimately meant the company went into bankruptcy. Wallace then launched Prime Books to publish a few of the orphaned books,〔Dziemianowicz, Stefan. "Prime Suspect", ''Publishers Weekly'', p. 43, Reed Business Information, July 26, 2004. Retrieved March 30, 2010.〕 including the award-winning ''City of Saints and Madmen'', by Jeff VanderMeer. Later, in 2003, he licensed the company to Wildside Press, and moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania, subsequently becoming a senior editor. In early 2009, Wallace reacquired Prime Books, and relaunched as an independent publishing house in May that year.〔Wallace, Sean. (Press Release: Acquisition of Prime Books ). LiveJournal (official site). February 10, 2009. Retrieved April 10, 2009.〕 Wallace was twice-nominated for a World Fantasy Award in 2003 and 2004 for editing Prime Books, in the Special Award: Non-Professional and Special Award: Professional categories, respectively.〔"(2003 World Fantasy Award Winners and Nominees )".

October 28–31, 2004. Retrieved April 10, 2009.〕 Around this time, he felt there was a lack of appealing short fiction available in the literary fantasy genre. To cater to this, he launched ''Fantasy Magazine'' in 2005, at the World Fantasy Convention in Wisconsin.〔Foster, Eugie. , ''The Fix'', TTA Press, April 7, 2008. Retrieved March 30, 2010.〕 During 2006 his first nationally-distributed book, ''Horror: The Best of the Year'' was released, and he took on a co-editing job with Nick Mamatas, with ''Clarkesworld Magazine''.〔(About us: Staff ), ''Clarkesworld Magazine'', Wyrm Publishing.

In 2011 he served as a World Fantasy Awards judge and in the same year he launched the World SF Travel Fund with Lavie Tidhar.
