What is the email address of Arthur C. Clarke ?

Question

he is a science fiction writer

Answer 1

Here's what I found (at the website below.)

"Dear friend,

Help - I'm suffering from Information Overload!
I have tried to drink from Niagara and am in danger of drowning. Over the past few years, I've been gradually overwhelmed by the amount of information that arrives in the mail, through television and radio, and increasingly by fax and email. All sorting methods provide only temporary relief: they are like building new roads to ease the traffic - very quickly, more vehicles turn up and conditions are even worse.
I have therefore gone into emergency mode, and am unplugging myself from every network and mailing list. I had valued and welcomed your occasional circulars, alerts, jokes or updates, but am no longer able to cope. I must therefore ask you to please stop sending me any emails, faxes or letters with general information on space, astronomy, science fiction, oceanography or any other areas in which you know I am interested. I directly access sufficient information in all these fields to keep myself updated, at a pace and quantity I can cope with.
The only exceptions to the above rule are items in obscure sources that specifically mention me, and which require action on my part.
I hope you will understand and cooperate with me on what has become a survival strategy!
All good wishes,
Sir Arthur C Clarke
PS: You are welcome to copy or adapt this letter in your own defense!

Sir Arthur's earlier STANDARD REPLY:

NOTE FROM John C. Sherwood: For several decades, Sir Arthur C. Clarke has used a variety of stock replies to questions received from fans and others. This *current* version was provided by Sir Arthur via e-mail in early November 2000, as our links pages have resulted in a number of e-mails requesting how to contact Sir Arthur's agent, etc. We're grateful to Sir Arthur for taking pity on us, because even though we're not in his employ we've ended up fielding a surprising number of unexpected inquiries on his behalf. The file below should help those who need some answers -- and, even if you don't mean to do any business with Sir Arthur, you still may find this information informative, helpful or amusing. [Before undertaking a message to Sir Arthur, *please* observe his request printed at the top of this page.]

Dear Sir/Ms,

I regret that Post-Polio Syndrome and an ever-increasing mail-load now make it impossible for me to acknowledge letters personally, or to autograph books etc. However, I hope that this reply form answers your queries, and I appreciate your interest in my work.

Space: There are now hundreds of books on this, and many organisations dealing with it, e.g. British Interplanetary Society (27 S.

Manuscript: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I comment on MSS or story ideas. And to all those enthusiasts who send me pet theories, inventions, and plans for saving the world - sorry, but I don't have the time or qualifications to discuss them.

Advice to Authors: Read at least one book a day, and write as much as you can. Study the memoirs of authors who interest you. (e.g. Somerset Maugham's A WRITER'S NOTEBOOKS.) Correspondence courses, writer's schools, etc., are useful - but all the authors I know were self-taught. There is no substitute for living; as Hemingway wisely remarked, writing is not a full-time occupation.

Requests for help: If I responded to all the appeals I get for literary, financial, educational, etc. assistance I would have no time (or money) for anything else. It is often difficult to ignore genuine and deserving cases, but I salve my conscience with the thought that I now directly support about 5O people.

Answer 2

Clarke lives in Sri Lanka. He may have a website, but that's a big if. He's 90 years old now, and may or may not have time for that. In addition, he has post-polio syndrome and has been confined to a wheelchair for several years now. However, you might want to contact the Arthur C. Clarke foundation, which is dedicated to maintaining his vision. They may be able to answer questions for you.
Clarke has done some visionary writing - sometimes it seems as though science tags along behind the sci-fi writers. There were a couple of humorous instances where he was regarded with suspicion by security forces because things he imagined and wrote about were actually being developed in super secret labs during wartime.

Answer 3

Couldn't find a direct email address but maybe try giving his foundation a call at the following:

Answer 4

www.clarkefoundation.org
This is one that I think will help you. I am sure it is not his direct email address.
There are several sites on Yahoo concerning Mr. Clarke. Just type in his name and decide which one would be of more importance to you.

Answer 5

if im not mistaken, he's dead. so the email would be [e-mail].
