Career

Steven Savile started out writing and reviewing play-by-mail games in the UK in the late 1980s, then launched his own company, Pheonix Games (intentionally misspelled), before working for Games Workshop.[1] He has written several novels, including Inheritance, Dominion, and Retribution, all set in the Warhammer world, as well as fiction connected to Slaine, Dr. Who, and Torchwood.[1]

Savile has primarily made his name working in established franchises such as Star Wars, Stargate, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Fireborn, Risen, Warhammer and Pathfinder. He's also written a number of Top Trumps facts books for kids including Dinosaurs, Creatures of the Deep, and Predators among others. He has also written a number of original novels, including the Ogmios team series which began with Silver. Savile's most successful novel to date, Silver, reached #2 on the Amazon best-seller charts and was listed by The Bookseller as one of the Top 30 best-selling digital titles of 2011.

Savile has also written and edited Doctor Who stories for Big Finish with his work featuring in The Centenarian, Snapshots, Defining Patterns, The Ghosts of Christmas and The Quality of Leadership anthologies in the Short Trips series. He also edited the anthology Destination Prague, the 20th volume in that series. To date Savile has written two Sláine novels for Black Flame, Slaine the Exile and Slaine the Defiler, and wrote the first novel tied into the universe of the British television show Primeval, for Titan Books.

Savile was a runner-up for the British Fantasy Award in 2000 and again in 2010. With his novel Primeval: Shadow of the Jaguar, Savile won the Best Young Adult Original Novel for the 2009 Scribe Awards presented by the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. Tau Ceti, co-written with Kevin J Anderson, is a nominee for the inaugural Lifeboat Award for novels featuring inter-stellar travel.

He has edited and co-edited numerous anthologies, including Redbrick Eden, which raised money for the homeless charity Shelter and the 2006 science fiction and fantasy anthology Elemental, a benefit anthology for children who survived the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that includes work by Arthur C. Clarke, Brian Aldiss, David Drake, Jacqueline Carey, Martha Wells, Larry Niven, Joe Haldeman, Eric Nylund, Sherrilyn Kenyon (writing as Kinley MacGregor), Stel Pavlou, Michael Marshall Smith, Sean Williams, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson, and others.

In May 2013 it was announced that Savile had written a novel with hip hop legend Prodigy of Mobb Deep, H.N.I.C., to be released by Akashic in the US.

He has been published in a dozen languages and sold more than half a million copies of his novels and stories worldwide.
