Nisi Shawl

Nisi Shawl’s 2008 collection Filter House co-won the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, and her short fiction has appeared in numerous publications including Strange Horizons and Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. She has given speeches at Duke and Stanford universities and at Spelman and Smith colleges, and she has been a Guest of Honor for WisCon and the Science Fiction Research Association; in August she’ll be GOH for Armadillocon 2017.

Shawl is the coauthor of Writing the Other: A Practical Approach. She co-edited Strange Matings: Science Fiction, Feminism, African American Voices, and Octavia E. Butler and Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany. Currently she’s immersed in guest editing Fantastic Stories of the Imagination’s special POC Take Over issue, and since its inception in 2011 she has been Reviews Editor for feminist literary quarterly Cascadia Subduction Zone.

In 1999 Shawl helped found the Carl Brandon Society, a nonprofit supporting the presence of people of color in the fantastic genres. She continues to serve on the CBS Steering Committee, and she also serves on the board of directors of the Clarion West Writing Workshop. She lives in Seattle, taking daily walks with her mother June and her cat Minnie at the pace of an entitled feline.
