William Shunn was born August 14, 1967, in Los Angeles and grew up near Salt Lake City. A computer science graduate of the University of Utah, his employers have ranged from WordPerfect to the Children's Television Workshop. He lives in Queens, New York, with his wife Laura Chavoen. He was raised a Latter-Day Saint but no longer practices. In fact, his fiction often revolves around issues of faith and reason.

Shunn attended Clarion in 1985, and since 1993 his short fiction has appeared in Salon, Storyteller, Asimov's, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Science Fiction Age, Realms of Fantasy, Electric Velocipede, and various anthologies. He was nominated for the Nebula Award in 2002 for his novelette "Dance of the Yellow-Breasted Luddites", and for both the Hugo and Nebula in 2007 for his novella "Inclination." A chapbook of his stories, An Alternate History of the 21st Century, will be released in the summer of 2007 by Spilt Milk Press.

Shunn podcasts regularly. From March 2006 until April 2007, his podcast serialized his memoir The Accidental Terrorist, the tale of his troubled days as a Mormon missionary in Canada.
