Kathryn Cramer and husband David Hartwell have a small son, Peter, and a younger daughter, Elizabeth. Although it is rumored that David picks out Peter’s loud clothes, for the most part it is Kathryn who shops for Hawaiian shirts in toddler sizes. Although the family has had two good cats, Kathryn is now mother to a growing menagerie including also a variety of frogs, fish, a handsome bunny, and occasional wild visitors. Their Pleasantville house and grounds are a work in progress. Kathryn has painted murals on the decks, rebanked the front yard, and put in an herb garden. She works continually on over-elaborate play areas for Peter including a house of sticks and a Stone-Henge-influenced circle of stumps.

Kathryn occasionally writes essays and stories, and has recently written bits of filler for the New York Review of Science Fiction when there are awkward gaps in the layout, a hard sf short-short for Nature, and a remembrance of Jenna Felice of which she is especially proud. Her title with NYRSF is technically Art and Web Site Editor, but it is a holdover from the days when NYRSF had a larger core editorial staff. At present, she lets the web site languish for years at a time and instead does the second shift on the magazine layout each month. Nonetheless, this gets her on the Hugo ballot each year.

She won a World Fantasy Award for best anthology for The Architecture of Fear co-edited with Peter Pautz; she was nominated for a World Fantasy Award for her anthology, Walls of Fear. She has worked for publishers, literary agents, for software companies, and as web site designer. Other web sites she lets languish disgracefully are David’s home page (www.panix.com/~dgh), Wonderbook (www.wonderbook.com), and the Philip K. Dick Awards page (wiz.cath.vt.edu/exper/kcramer/PKDA.html). She also blogs, at www.kathryncramer.com.

After years of failing to sell anthologies under her own name, she has resumed coediting anthologies with David Hartwell. She coedits the new Harper Eos Year’s Best Fantasy series with David Hartwell, and joined him as editor of his Year’s Best SF series for Harper Eos.
