Constance Elaine Trimmer Willis (born December 31, 1945), commonly known as Connie Willis, is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. She has won eleven Hugo Awards and seven Nebula Awards for particular works—more major SF awards than any other writer[4]—most recently the "Best Novel" Hugo and Nebula Awards for Blackout/All Clear (2010).[5] She was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009[6][7] and the Science Fiction Writers of America named her its 28th SFWA Grand Master in 2011.[8]
Several of her works feature time travel by history students at the future University of Oxford, called the Time Travel series[9] or the Oxford Time Travel Series.[10] They are the short story "Fire Watch" (1982, also in several anthologies and the 1985 collection of the same name), the novels Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog (1992 and 1997), and the two-part novel Blackout/All Clear (2010).[9] All four won the annual Hugo Award, and Doomsday Book and Blackout/All Clear won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards,[5] making her the first author to win Hugo awards for all books in a series.
