Italicize the authors you've heard of before reading this list of authors, bold the ones you've read at least one work by, underline the ones of whose work you own at least one example of.

Long, so a cut.

I was sure some of those got their start before the 1980s (and I believe Sheri Tepper's first story was published in 1963).

Not according to isfdb or wikipedia, as far as I can tell.

Poems, yes.

Yep, Lullaby: 1990 was a poem published under a different name, not a story. My error.
