Joe Menosky is a writer and producer who started his Star Trek career as Executive Story Editor during the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Beside writing scripts for The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager, he also worked as co-producer on TNG and as producer, supervising producer, and co.executive producer on Star Trek: Voyager.

During his time with the franchise, he moved to Europe for three years. There, he wrote and developed television pilots for studio Gaumont in France, while continuing to write scripts for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and then Star Trek: Voyager, on a freelance basis. When he came back to the United States, Menosky joined Star Trek: Voyager in its third season as a writer and producer. Menosky is probably best known as the writer who started inserting the number 47 into his scripts, a tradition carried on by Braga, Ronald D. Moore and others. He is also well known for writing "high-concept" scripts. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 2nd ed., p. 295)

In addition to Star Trek, Menosky recently sold a feature screenplay co-authored with Brannon Braga to director James Cameron called "Real Time".
