Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, and Arthur C.
Referring to his time spent as an editor, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction states: "More than any other individual, he helped to shape modern sf." Isaac Asimov called Campbell "the most powerful force in science fiction ever" and said the "first ten years of his editorship he dominated the field completely." In his capacity as an editor, Campbell published some of the very earliest work, and helped shape the careers of virtually every important science-fiction author to debut between 19, including Asimov, Robert A. In 1939, Campbell started the fantasy magazine Unknown, which was canceled after only four years. It is as editor of Astounding Science Fiction from late 1937 until his death for which Campbell is primarily remembered today. From 1930 until the later part of that decade, Campbell was prolific and successful under both names, though he stopped writing fiction shortly after he became editor of Astounding in 1937. When in 1934 he began to write stories with a different tone, he wrote as Don A. This work established Campbell's reputation as a writer of space adventure. He published six short stories, one novel, and six letters in the science fiction magazine Amazing Stories from 1930 to 1931.
