Juanita Coulson

Juanita Coulson (born February 12, 1933) is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. She is also widely known in filk music circles since the 1950s for her singing and songwriting; she has won several Pegasus Awards for her filking. For thirty-three years, she co-edited the science fiction fanzine "Yandro" with her husband "Buck" (Robert Coulson). "Yandro" was nominated for a Hugo Award every year from 1958-1967; it won the award in 1965, thus marking Coulson as one of the very first women to be so honored.

Her first novel, "Crisis on Cheiron", came out in 1967. During her writing career, she has collaborated with other authors such as Marion Zimmer Bradley. One of her better-known novel series are the "Children of the Stars" books. Several of her novels concern the exploitation of "primitive" intelligence species or First contact.
