Teresa Nielsen Hayden (born March 21, 1956) is an American science fiction editor, fanzine writer, essayist, and teacher.

Born Teresa Nielsen, she grew up in a Mormon household in Mesa, Arizona, but was excommunicated from the Mormon church in 1980. In her youth, she served as a page in the Arizona House of Representatives . She appended Hayden to her name upon marrying the former Patrick Hayden in 1979; he also changed his name to Patrick Nielsen Hayden.

She is a former managing editor and, now, consulting editor at Tor Books. In 1994, a collection of her essays, Making Book (ISBN 0-915368-55-2), was published by NESFA Press. It is now in its third printing. The second printing is the preferred edition.

She is also one of the regular instructors for the writing workshop Viable Paradise.

Outside the science-fiction community, Nielsen Hayden is probably best known for her weblog, Making Light, where she writes about a wide range of subjects such as animal hoarding, publishing scams, and global political events from a left-wing perspective.

Medical Conditions

Nielsen Hayden has narcolepsy and had been taking Cylert for the condition. However the Food and Drug Administration withdrew the drug from the marketplace in January 2006 with insufficient warning, leaving her with no effective replacement.
