About

Dale Stromberg is an author, editor, and translator. He studied the art of fiction with the novelists Richard Bankowsky and Doug Rice in Sacramento before spending about a decade in Tokyo, where he fronted a few bands. Now he lives near Kuala Lumpur, an unobtrusive immigrant.

His contemplative fantasy novel Mæj will be published by tRaum Books in 2024. He is the author of the collection Melancholic Parables and has published short fiction in Planet Scumm, Denver Quarterly, JMWW, New World Writing, Gone Lawn, MoonPark Review, Litro Magazine, Vol.1 Brooklyn, Delmarva Review, and elsewhere. He is shopping around a “curio fiction” novella and is co-authoring a sci-fi novel with Isaac Menuza.

As an editor, he has worked with novelists in the U.K. and the U.S. He handles both literary and genre work; all that matters is that the story matter.

His other job is as a translator/interpreter (English/Japanese) in the 3D animation field. In the end credits of a handful of TV shows and films, if you sit and wait long enough, you might see his name scroll past.
