Greer Gilman was a Guest of Honor at Readercon 20. Her Cloud & Ashes: Three Winter's Tales (2009) has won this year's Tiptree Award, and is a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award finalist. "Jack Daw's Pack," the first of the tales, came out in Century (Winter 2000), and was a Nebula finalist for 2001. It has been reprinted in Jay Lake's anthology, TEL: Stories (2005, Wheatland Press), and in The 14th Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. Her novella, "A Crowd of Bone," won a World Fantasy Award in 2004. It first appeared in Trampoline (2003, Small Beer Press). "Unleaving," a new novel-length story, completes the triptych. All three are set in the Northern mythscape of her first novel Moonwise (1991, Roc; reprinted in hardcover 2005, Prime Books), itself shortlisted for the Tiptree and Mythopoeic Fantasy awards, and a Crawford Award winner. "Down the Wall," a Cloudish story, appeared in the Datlow and Windling anthology Salon Fantastique (2006, Thunder's Mouth Press), a World Fantasy Award winner. Her poem "She Undoes" from The Faces of Fantasy (1996, Tor) has been reprinted in Women of Other Worlds (1999, University of Western Australia Press), and in Jabberwocky (2005, Prime Books). Her essay, "Girl, Implicated: The Child in the Labyrinth in the Fantastic" was published in the Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts 19.2 (2008). Her chapter on "The Languages of the Fantastic" will appear in a collection of essays on literary fantasy edited by Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James, forthcoming from the Cambridge University Press. In 2006, she gave a paper on "Shakespearean Voices in the Literature of the Fantastic" to the Shakespeare Association of America. Two conversations with Michael Swanwick have appeared in Foundation (Autumn 2001 and Spring 2009). She has been interviewed by Locus (August 2008), by Sherwood Smith for the SF Site (February 2004), and by the Harvard University Gazette (Oct. 11, 2001).

Ms. Gilman has also been a Guest of Honor at the International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts (2008) and at the Wichita Literary Festival (2009), and was a guest speaker at the Art/Sci'98 Symposium held at the Cooper Union in New York. She was a John W. Campbell finalist for 1992.

Her love of British lore and landscape, of its rituals and ballads, is a constant in her work; her love of language, at its roots. Like the theatre of Shakespeare's time, her books are written for the ear, as much as for the understanding. A sometime forensic librarian, she lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and travels in stone circles. She likes to say she does everything James Joyce ever did, only backward and in high heels.
