Career


A graduate of the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars and Clarion West Writers Workshop, Rambo writes predominantly fantasy and science fiction. Their short stories have appeared in such places as Asimov's Science Fiction, Clarkesworld Magazine and Tor.com since the release of "Grandmother's Road Trip" in Chizine #26 in 2005. Some of their short stories have received recognition; in 2012, their story "Five Ways to Fall in Love on Planet Porcelain", initially published in Near / Far: Stories of the Near Future and the Far (2012), was shortlisted for a Nebula Award for Best Short Story. "Carpe Glitter" was subsequently awarded the Nebula Award for Best Novelette. They later made longer works; their first novel, Beasts of Tabat, was published by Wordfire Press in 2015 and is the first of a fantasy quartet. It was shortlisted for the Compton Crook Award.
Rambo collaborated with Jeff VanderMeer on The Surgeon's Tale and Other Stories, published in 2007. They collaborated in a new weird round-robin writing project for editors by Ann VanderMeer and Jeff VanderMeer, published in the 2008 anthology The New Weird ("Festival Lives", pp. 365). They were the co-editor with Fran Wilde of Ad Astra: The SFWA 50th Anniversary Cookbook (2015).
In 2008, they donated their archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University.
They also work with Armageddon, a fantasy MUD, under the name Sanvean, and write gaming articles. Their background in technology writing includes work for Microsoft and Security Dynamics.
They are a member of the Codex Writers Group and, in 2008, was appointed chair of the Copyright Committee of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). Rambo served two two-year terms as President of the SFWA from 2015 through 2019 following one year as Vice President. Rambo was the Writer Guest of Honor at Norwescon 44 in April 2022.
