Eric Flint

Eric Flint (born 1947) is an American science fiction and fantasy author and editor. Some of his main works are alternate-history science fiction, but he also writes humorous fantasy adventures.

Eric Flint is noted as the editor if the "Baen Free Library." The Free Library is an experiment in electronic publishing where Flint and Jim Baen have convinced authors to post entirely unprotected free copies of seminal works for free download on the internet as an experiment to see if this increases the sales of their paper editions. (To date, in late 2003, the experiment appears to be a success.)
