Marco Palmieri is a former editor with Pocket Books, whose responsibilities covered media tie-in fiction, including the Star Trek novels. Some of the novel series he worked on included the post-finale Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels, Star Trek: Titan, and Star Trek: Vanguard.
In 2004, he was one of several interviewed for the "Klingons: Conjuring the Legend" special feature of the Special Edition DVD of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
In December 2008, Palmieri was one of 35 staff laid off by Simon & Schuster. In early 2011, he joined the editorial staff of Tor Books, working with David G. Hartwell, one of the original founders of the Trek book line at Pocket Books.
Several characters in the novels have been named after Palmieri. A security officer named Marco Palmieri encountered the X-Men on Starbase 88 in the novel Planet X. The novella Fables of the Prime Directive mentioned the "Palmieri Hypothesis", a new theory that caused Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development to fall out of favor with the scientific community.
