1979, Sawyer sold his first novel, Motivation, which deeply influenced Sawyer's later creation, and established the style of combining science fiction with mysterious murder (which later made him a member of the Canadian Crime Fiction Association), even the Quinterlio dinosaur in Farsightedness and golden fleece. Sawyer's first novel was 1980 "Competition" published in the Literary Yearbook of Lyerson University, which was later included in the Collection of Excellent Fantasy Short Stories edited by Asimov. 1In May 1983, Sawyer became a full-time writer, but in the first six years of his career, he mainly created non-fiction literary works, and wrote more than 200 articles for various magazines in Canada and the United States, with topics ranging from computers to personal finance.

In addition, he made great efforts in broadcasting, participated in the production of the CBS radio series Thoughts, and served as a screenwriter and broadcaster of five sci-fi programs. During this period, he had the honor to interview isaac asimov, Ursula Legon, Gregory Bendford, robert Silverberg, Kim Stanley Robinson and other science fiction masters. When he was almost 30 years old, Sawyer suddenly realized that he had to regain the dream of a science fiction writer, so he resolutely gave up other high-paying jobs and devoted himself to science fiction creation. Today, Sawyer has achieved fruitful results, and * * * has published 17 novels-some of which have entered the top ten in the list of fluent mirror books in Canada, so that Canadian Newsweek exclaimed: Sawyer is the most successful science fiction writer in Canada so far! Sawyer is not limited to science fiction writing. He often uses various media to promote science and science fiction, and at the same time promote himself. He has been on the "science fiction" channel in the United States, is a perennial commentator on the Canadian version of the "Discovery" channel, and even made a guest appearance for a sci-fi series "Prisoner of Gravity" 16 times! With the improvement of fame, Sawyer is also committed to promoting the development of Canadian science fiction.

He organized and established the Canadian chapter of the American Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers (SFWA), and as the first director of Canada, he served as a director of the SFWA board for three years. In order to encourage more people to participate in science fiction creation, Sawyer is also actively engaged in science fiction teaching. He teaches science fiction writing courses at Lyerson University, University of Toronto, National University of Ireland, Humber College and other institutions of higher learning, and some students even attend classes in Toronto from Atlanta and Georgia in the United States. In addition, he also works for a Canadian national high school seminar called "Writers Online". His main task is to criticize the articles submitted by students through the internet from the perspective of a professional writer. Perhaps because of the above reasons, Sawyer's works have been highly sought after among students. Roy, one of his "dinosaur trilogy", has entered the textbook of Gerrit Park School in scarborough, Ontario. Many of his novels are taught by many universities as research images. Today, Sawyer and his wife Caroline klinck live in Mississauga, Ontario.
