Richard Delap

Richard Delap (1942-1987) was a Canadian science fiction writer, editor, and reviewer. He began in science fiction fandom and was nominated for the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer.[1] He edited and wrote reviews for the semi-professional magazine Delap's Fantasy and Science Fiction Review in the mid-1970s. After moving to southern California, he worked in Hollywood as a script doctor from 1981 to 1986, rewriting film and television scripts in pre-production.[2]

He did the initial work on and was the co-editor of the massive Harlan Ellison collection The Essential Harlan Ellison, which his co-editors said "remains a testament to his talent and hard work". Delap died from an AIDS-related condition in 1987, shortly after the first hardcover publication of the Ellison collection by the Nemo Press.[2]

Delap's only work of fiction is the horror novel Shapes, which was co-written with Walter W. Lee.
