David Redd
(January 14, 1946 –)
David Redd is a UK fan and writer from Haverfordwest in Wales. As a writer he was never prolific, publishing thirty-six short stories in 52 years starting with 'The Way to London Town' in New Worlds, July 1966. Other pieces appeared in magazines and anthologies including F&SF, Interzone and Asimov's. A Collected Stories was published in 2018. Dave Langford in the SFE describes him as 'an engaging writer who long seemed deserving of a breakthrough work that somehow never appeared.'
As a fan he was a frequent and insightful contributor to letter columns from Speculation in 1969 to modern titles including Banana Wings, Journey Planet, Relapse and The White Notebooks. His fanzines were the three-issues of Dr Faustenstein from 1979–80 and the single-issue Dreddnaught in 1985.
He attended conventions only occasionally. He was at Loncon II in 1965 and Sci-Con in 1970, but didn't then attend another Eastercon until 2001 when Peter Weston promised to send him his contributor's copy of the hardcover anthology Andromeda 3, only 23 years late.
