William Shunn

William Shunn (1967-) is an American science fiction writer and memoirist. He was raised in a devout Mormon household, the oldest of eight children. He attended the Clarion Workshop in 1985. In 1986, he served a mission to Canada for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but was arrested for making a false bomb threat and ejected from the country. He left the church in 1995.

Shunn's first professional short story was published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1993. In 2002 he was nominated for the Nebula Award for his novelette "Dance of the Yellow-Breasted Luddites." In the wake of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, he created what may have been the first online survivor registry. He lives in Queens, New York.
