Michael Moorcock is an English author of science fiction and fantasy novels. Moorcock is the author of several series, including the Elric Saga, Eternal Champion, Jerry Cornelius and Chronicles of Corum series (which are all connected in a Multiverse). Moorcock began editing Tarzan Adventures at age 17 (Edgar Rice Burroughs was a favourite growing up). He would go on to edit other publications like New Worlds. He says he could write upwards of 15,000 words in a day.

Michael Moorcock became a published novelist in 1961 with the novel The Stealer of Souls.
