[edit] Editor

Saha and Wollheim co-edited numerous "best of the year" science fiction anthologies for the latter’s publishing house DAW Books. Saha was Wollheim’s choice as successor to Lin Carter as editor of a similar line of fantasy anthologies.

Saha’s compilations were routinely entered in the Locus Poll Award for Best Anthology; The 1978 Annual World's Best SF he co-edited with Wollheim came in second for the 1979 award. He received a First Fandom Hall of Fame award for 1992 for his contributions to the field of science fiction.

[edit] Coinage

Saha is credited with coining the term "trekkie" in 1967 to describe fans of Star Trek.
