"I'm just getting started. I intend to continue writing for another 20 years. Right now, I'm planning new Logan novels, new  biographies, new short stories, new essays--and new poems.  To quote an old saying: 'You ain't seen nothin' yet!' I appreciate the support of every fan and reader. Always remember, I'm writing for YOU." --William F. Nolan

"He makes a permanent dent in our memories. Nolan is able to create an atmosphere of ultimate terror, causing readers to live out his nightmares."- 
Ray Bradbury
"William F. Nolan is a hell of a writer! I have real admiration for his stories." 
-Peter Straub
He's incredibly talented. Each of his stories is like a psychiatric session from which the reader comes away knowing more about the human condition, due to Nolan's fascination with the topography of emotional torment and his infallible rendering of the troubled psyche." ---Richard Christian Matheson

"Nolan is a prime communicator.. ."-SMALL PRESS REVIEW

William F. Nolan-Literary Genius 
& 21st Century Renaissance Man
§


From the February 1999 article by Tim Sinniger in
Magazine

I call him the Human Dynamo.

William F. Nolan is one of the most versatile and productive talents of this century, and if you think that’s hyperbole, just consider his credits as novelist, short story writer, poet, biographer, literary critic, speech writer, lecturer, essayist, technical writer, editor, bibliographer, columnist, film and television scriptwriter, actor, teacher and cartoonist/illustrator.

The bare statistics of William F. Nolan’s career give serious pause to any collector. How do you collect a writer who’s been printed in 650  magazines and newspapers under a dozen names around the world, whose works are represented in 300 anthologies and textbooks in over 400 editions, whose books-in a variety of global editions from 85 publishers-number more than 200, who has ghosted speeches and letters for everyone from former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley to President Bill Clinton?

Although best known as a science fiction writer (for his most famous book, Logan’s Run), Nolan has distinguished himself in a dozen other genres, including mystery/suspense, horror, fantasy, auto racing, aviation, show business, Westerns and hard-boilers. He has also written for radio, the stage and for comic books (carrying on the adventures of Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney). 

His Logan's Run book is now recognized as a genuine science fiction classic, and has spawned a major MGM movie, a CBS television series, a Books-On-Tape audio, an augmented laser disc, two comic book series, fan clubs, special magazines, a host of reprint editions around the world and (thus far) two sequels written solo by Nolan.

And, more than three decades after he was launched by Dial Press, Logan is running faster than ever. A blockbuster high-budget, high-tech remake of Logan's Run is in pre-production at Warner Bros., and Nolan has plotted three new Logan novels.
