I can find lots of PR for this guy, and a fair bit of fan bloggery and such, but I am really struggling to fix its lack of a single reliable independent secondary source. I't's got lots of inline links to sales pages, which contributes to a strong whiff of processed meat products and doesn't help the overall impression of being a promotional piece.

 * Do Not Delete Marc Cushman writes in-depth books on the history of pop culture and has been recognized by several people, including the main cast of Star Trek, and the Saturn Awards, along with other accolades. If any of the above users had read even one of Mr. Cushman's books and the details he gives, they would not request deletion.  He directly pitched television scripts to and wrote for Gene Roddenberry, which is mentioned in his "These Are the Voyages" series.  His books are authorized so this is not a random writer trying to use Wikipedia for publicity. User:Susantempleton  7:27, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
