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, a quiet immigrant.

He is the author of the novels Mæj (high fantasy, tRaum Books, 2024) and Gyre (curio fiction, 2025) and the collections Melancholic Parables (2022) and Váried Parályses (2023). He 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 working on a sci-fi novel and a literary novelette.

As an editor, he has worked with novelists in Ireland, Colombia, Germany, the U.K., Canada, 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.

This third-person profile was written by Dale Stromberg’s (eponymous) official biographer. Dale will never win a literary award or be liked by the grownups, and his jokes are so bad they'll cure your hiccups.
