# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Ebner was born in Vienna on 8 August 1964 and started writing young, submitting stories to magazines through the 1980s. After 1989 he published articles and books on software alongside his literary work. His first story collection appeared in 2007, the same year he won the Wiener Werkstattpreis; the short novel "Hominide" followed in 2008. He'd already taken the Youth Prize Erster Österreichischer Jugendpreis back in 1982. Austrian critics like Wolfgang Ratz have singled out his prose style. He remains in Vienna with his family, a member of the Grazer Autorenversammlung and other writers associations.
