Most people know him from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, widely regarded as one of the most influential films of all time. Clarke was born in England in December 1917. He said his interest in science fiction began with the November 1928 issue of Amazing Stories magazine at the age of 11, which he read in 1929 after it had been shipped from the United States. Sir Arthur Charles Clarke remembered buying this life changing magazine at Woolworth’s and said, “How I used to haunt that once-famous store during my lunch hour, in search of issues of Amazing, Wonder, and Astounding, buried like jewels in the junk-pile of detective and western pulps!” Clarke did have some stories published between 1937 and 1945, those stories were published in fanzines. His first professional sale was published in Astounding Science Fiction in April 1946. He was still a member of the Royal Air Force at the time he sold his first two stories to Astounding in 1945. Rescue Party sold first, followed by Loophole which was the first story actually published. Over the next few years his stories appeared regularly in leading pulps, and he always acknowledged them as his ‘launch pad’ to become a writer. He wrote around 100 short science fiction stories during his career and dozens of novels.
