Ian Whates wears two hats in the British science fiction world: writer and publisher. As an author, he is best known for the City of a Hundred Rows trilogy, a science fiction series set in a towering city where social class is determined by height. His Dark Angels series takes a different approach with space-set adventure. He has also written standalone novels and numerous short stories.
As the founder of NewCon Press, Whates has edited dozens of anthologies, from themed collections like Paradox and Sharkpunk to the Solaris Rising series. His anthology work has brought together some of the biggest names in science fiction and fantasy. Between his own fiction and his editorial output, Whates has been a consistent presence in British genre publishing since 2008.
