modern times

by Sven Klöpping

Sven Klöpping is a German sci-fi and poetry writer who translates his German sci-fi stories for the English speaking readership by himself (and occassionally writes originial English poetry , as you see at the bottom of this page). He published his English sci-fi stories in several fiction magazines such as Fantastic Metropolis, Internova, Planet Magazine. For Internova, he serves as co-editor. In Germany his fiction is published by the major sci-fi zines like Nova, c't or phantastisch. In 2001, he has published a sci-fi short story collection named "MegaFusion" (setting is a city covering nearly the whole planet) which will be translated step by step. A second German story compilation came out in November 2010. For an English "MegaFusion" book project Sven is looking for a publisher. Interested? Just e-mail Sven. Want to read some sample stories?
