Neil Gaiman is a writer whose list of titles spans many forms from novels, including American Gods, to children’s stories such as Coraline and the comic book the Sandman.

Neil grew up in East Grinstead and after finishing school he became a journalist and then wrote short stories and books. One of his early commissions was writing a companion to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. In 1989 he began to write the Sandman series for DC Comics which were illustrated by his friend Dave McKean.

The Sandman became the first comic ever to receive a literary award - the World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story – and is credited with bringing comics from an underground art form into the mainstream. It is currently in production as a television series.

Neil started writing what became the fantasy novel Good Omens in the 1980s but put it aside to concentrate on the Sandman. When his friend Terry Pratchett suggested they go back to it and finish it together, they turned Neil’s initial 5,000 words into a novel which was adapted for radio in 2014 and became a television series starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen.

Neil wrote his first children’s book, The Day I Swapped my Dad for Two Goldfish, in 1997. His next children’s book Coraline, about a little girl adrift in a parallel universe, was initially deemed to be too frightening to publish but is now a family favourite.

Neil is married to the musician Amanda Palmer and lives in upstate New York.

尼尔-盖曼是一位作家，他的作品清单横跨多种形式，从小说，包括《美国之神》，到儿童故事，如《Coraline》和漫画书《Sandman》。

尼尔在东格林斯泰德长大，完成学业后他成为一名记者，然后写短篇小说和书籍。他早期的任务之一是为道格拉斯-亚当斯的《银河系搭车指南》写一本伴侣。1989年，他开始为DC漫画写《沙人》系列，由他的朋友戴夫-麦肯恩负责插图。

睡魔》成为有史以来第一部获得文学奖--世界幻想奖最佳短篇小说奖的漫画，并被认为将漫画从一种地下艺术形式带入主流。它目前正在被制作成电视连续剧。

尼尔在20世纪80年代开始写后来成为幻想小说的《好预兆》，但为了集中精力写《沙人》，他把它放在一边。当他的朋友特里-普拉切特建议他们回去一起完成它时，他们把尼尔最初的5000字变成了一部小说，这部小说在2014年被改编为广播剧，并成为由大卫-坦南特和迈克尔-辛主演的电视剧。

尼尔在1997年写了他的第一本儿童书《我用爸爸换两条金鱼的日子》。他的下一本童书《Coraline》讲述了一个在平行宇宙中漂流的小女孩的故事，最初被认为过于恐怖而无法出版，但现在已成为家庭的最爱。
