Roger Elwood (January 13, 1943 - February 2, 2007) was an American science fiction writer and editor, perhaps best known for having edited a large number of anthologies and collections for a variety of publishers in the early 1970s. Born and raised in Southern New Jersey, Roger Elwood started his professional writing career shortly after graduating from high school. Elwood edited two wrestling magazines, "The Big Book of Wrestling" and "Official Wrestling Guide", on a contract basis in 1971 72 for Jalart House, an Arizona publisher, and regularly photographed matches (wrestling magazines placed a premium on photos rather than text).
