Early Career
Bischoff began writing science fiction, and reviews of the genre while studying at the University of Maryland. His first publications were at a Thrust, a Fanzine offering science fiction commentary and criticism. The editor, Doug Fratz, later turned Thrust into a trade magazine, where Bischoff was a regular contributor.
His first novel, The Seeker was published in 1976, and in 1978 Bischoff wrote Tin Woodman, a notable short story nominated for a Nebula Award in that year, and later adapted into both a novel and TV episode for Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
