Roy Gallant was born April 17, 1924 in Portland, Maine, where he attended Deering High School and wrote poetry. After World War II, in which he navigated B-24's from 1943 to 1946, he attended Bowdoin College where he majored in English and minored in philosophy and science. Receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1948, he then attended Columbia University where he studied journalism, earning a Master of Science degree in 1949. He entered a doctoral program and eventually taught writing at Columbia. He also performed military intelligence work in Tokyo during the Korean War and was a member of the faculty at the Psychological Warfare School, Fort Riley, Kansas.
Gallant worked as a staff writer for Science Illustrated and Boys' Life from 1949 to 1951, managing editor for Scholastic Teacher from 1953 to 1956, author-in-residence at Doubleday & Company from 1956 to 1958, an instructor at Columbia University in 1958, executive editor of Aldus Books in London from 1959 to 1962, editor-in-chief of Natural History Press from 1962 to 1965, a lecturer in astronomy at Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York from 1969 to 1970, and a member of the faculty at the American Museum-Hayden Planetarium in New York in 1970. He won a temporary appointment as consultant to the President's Committee for Scientists and Engineers in the early 1950s.
Gallant's special interest has always been in astronomy, and he believes no subject is too complex to be presented to a child. His first book, Exploring the Moon, was published in 1955. Since then he has written numerous science books, including textbooks for elementary school, high school, and college. In 1957 he was co-recipient of the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation Award for best children's science book of the year for Exploring the Universe. In 1966 he returned to writing full time and in the early 1970s returned to Maine to live in a large house on a lake near Rangeley. He contributed fourteen articles to the new Book of Knowledge, some two hundred scientific articles to a variety of magazines, and an occasional political article to Reporter. Dividing his time between teaching at the University of Southern Maine in Portland and acting as director of the Southworth Planetarium, he also has contributed articles to Science-83 and Omni, and teaches in the natural sciences division of the Maine College of Art.
He spent the summer of 1992 in Siberia where he became the first American ever to visit the Tunguska site of the 1908 cosmic catastrophe. His visit to Russia was by invitation of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
