Author, Blogger, and Screenwriter Neil Gaiman Comes to The Long Center

Nine days ahead of his new release "The Sleeper and The Spindle", the Long Center is proud to present award-winning author Neil Gaiman to the Meredith Family Stage in Dell Hall. More than just an author, Neil Gaiman has written everything from short stories, novels, comic books, and graphic novels- in addition to audio theatre and films. And on November 13th, he's making an unforgettable, one-night-only appearance at the Long Center.

From the comic phenomenon The Sandman to the popular American Gods-currently in production for the Starz Network as a television series- Gaiman is perhaps one of the most popular authors of our time. Neil Gaiman's work has been honored with many awards internationally, including the Newbery and Carnegie Medals. His books and stories have also been honored with 4 Hugos, 2 Nebulas, 1 Ray Bradbury Award, 1 World Fantasy Award, 4 Bram Stoker Awards, 6 Locus Awards, 2 British SF Awards, 1 British Fantasy Award, 3 Geffens, 1 International Horror Guild Award and 2 Mythopoeic Awards.

Audiences for science fiction and fantasy form a substantial part of Gaiman's fan base, and he has continuously used social media to communicate with readers. In 2001, Gaiman became one of the first writers to establish a blog, which now has over a million regular readers.
