   Background and early career   
   Julian May grew up in Elmwood Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, the oldest   
   of four children. Her parents were Matthew M. May (originally Majewski) and   
   Julia Feilen May; as a child she was known as Judy May. She became involved in   
   science fiction    
   fandom in her late teens, publishing the fanzine Interim Newsletter for a   
   time. She sold her first professional fiction, a short story called "Dune   
   Roller", in 1950 to John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction; it appeared   
   in 1951, under the name "J.    
   C. May", accompanied by her original illustrations. She met her future   
   husband, Ted Dikty, later that year at a convention in Ohio. May chaired the   
   Tenth World Science Fiction Convention in Chicago in 1952, becoming the first   
   woman to chair a worldcon,    
   and married Dikty in January, 1953. After selling one more short story, "Star   
   of Wonder" (to Thrilling Wonder Stories in 1953), she dropped out of the   
   science fiction field for several years.   
      
   Period outside science fiction   
   May and Dikty had three children, the last of whom was born in 1958. Starting   
   in 1954, May wrote thousands of science encyclopedia articles for Consolidated   
   Book Publishers; after finishing that project, she wrote similar articles for   
   two other    
   encyclopedia publishers. In 1957 she and her husband founded a production and   
   editorial service for small publishers, Publication Associates; the most   
   notable projects May wrote and edited during this period include two episodes   
   of the Buck Rogers comic    
   strip and a new Catholic catechism for Franciscan Herald Press, a publisher   
   associated with the Order of Friars Minor. Between 1956 and 1981 she wrote   
   more than 250 books for children and young adults, most non-fiction, under her   
   own name and a variety    
   of pseudonyms; the subjects included science, history, and short biographies   
   of modern-day celebrities such as athletes and musical groups.   
      
   "Dune Roller" was filmed in 1972 as The Cremators, in which she was credited   
   as "Judy Dikty".[2]   
      
   Return to science fiction   
   Having moved to Oregon in the early 1970s, May began to get reacquainted with   
   the world of fandom; in 1976, she attended Westercon 29 in Los Angeles, her   
   first science-fiction convention in many years. She made an elaborate   
   diamond-encrusted "space suit"    
   for the convention's costume party, which started her thinking about what sort   
   of character would wear such a suit. She soon began accumulating a folder of   
   ideas for what would become the Galactic Milieu Series, and in 1978 she began   
   writing what would    
   become the Saga of Pliocene Exile. The first book in that series, The   
   Many-Colored Land, was published in 1981 by Houghton Mifflin. In 1987, she   
   continued the series with Intervention, finally followed in 1992 (with a   
   change in publisher) by the Galactic    
   Milieu Series: Jack the Bodiless, Diamond Mask and Magnificat.   
      
   In August 2015, she was inducted into the First Fandom Hall of Fame in a   
   ceremony at the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention.
