Liz Holliday is a British editor and writer whose work includes science fiction and crime/mystery short fiction, tie-in fiction, and role-playing game material. She is known for editing the UK magazines Odyssey (late 1990s) and 3SF (early 2000s).[1][2]

Life and early career

Published sources describe Holliday as having worked in several roles before and alongside her writing and editorial career, including teaching, youth work, bookselling and theatre-related work.[3]

Editing

Holliday edited Odyssey, a UK science-fiction and fantasy magazine published in the late 1990s; the magazine ceased publication after its 1997–1998 run.[4] She later edited 3SF, a UK A4-format slick magazine published by Big Engine; it produced three issues (October 2002 to February 2003), with a fourth completed but not printed after the publisher went into liquidation.[1]

Writing

Holliday has written short fiction published in magazines and anthologies, including Dragon and other genre venues.[2] Her short story "And She Laughed" was adapted for television as an episode of the anthology series The Hunger (broadcast 3 October 1999), credited to Holliday for story and to Jeff Fazio for teleplay.[5]

She has also written tie-in and media-related fiction, including novelisations connected with British television (such as Cracker and Soldier Soldier).[2]
