Sylvie Denis, a former English teacher, was born in 1963 and lives in Cognac.
A short story writer, novelist, essayist, anthologist, editor in chief of Cyberdreams magazine, she is also a translator of science fiction and of fantasy authors, namely Greg Ewan, Stephen Baxter and Alastair Reynolds, among others. With so many strings to her bow, Sylvie is often considered as the “Grande Dame of French science fiction”!
Her novels and short stories (awarded the Solaris and Rosny Aîné prizes) are clearly written with emphasis given to the theme of new technology and its impact on human society. After Jardins virtuels (Virtual gardens) (Folio SF), published in 2003, L'Atalante published her Haute-École (High School), awarded the 2004 Julia Verlanger prize, and La Saison des Singes (Monkey Season) in 2007.
In its collection “Autres Mondes” Mango has also published two young adult novels: Les Îles dans le ciel and Phénix Futur.
She also likes to draw and creates digital collages and illustrations under the name of Magmaplasma.
