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.
