Entry descriptions: Authors are listed by their canonical name, linking to their full ISFDB record. Because the date is an important aspect of this listing, the links here go to the chronological listings of their works. Each author's name is followed by the year of their first book publication and the number of books they published before 1985. If they have published additional books from 1985 on, this book count is followed by "+ XX" , where XX is the number of books published since 1985. For example, Octavia Butler is listed as: "Octavia E. Butler (1976, 6 + 9)", meaning that her first book publication was 1976, she published 6 books prior to 1985, and published 9 books from 1985 on. One of her Omnibus collections was published under two different titles, but with respect to this count, that's only 1 book. By "books", we count novels, collections, anthologies, and chapter books. We do not generally include authors whose only book publication prior to 1985 was as an anthology editor.
The third column is reserved for (non-fiction) books that discuss this author. Very little work has been done yet on the data for this column.
