Kathryn Cramer's Internet Science Fiction Database Bibliography

" . . . it transpires that uber-anthologist and skiffy big-think maven Kathryn Cramer has made it her business to link to all of the SF fans and pros with weblogs that she can find. Kathryn herself is writing a nicely understated and provocative blog; check it out." --Patrick Nielsen Hayden

Kathryn Cramer is a writer, critic, and anthologist presently co-editing the Year's Best Fantasy and Year's Best SF series with her husband David G. Hartwell. Her most recent historial anthologies include The Space Opera Renaissance and The Hard SF Renaissance, both co-edited with David Hartwell.

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 also co-edited several anthologies of Christmas and fantasy stories with Hartwell.

She was a runner-up for the Pioneer Award for best essay on sf of the year, and is on the editorial board of The New York Review of Science Fiction, for which she has been nominated for the Hugo Award many times. John Clute has called her criticism "spiky" and "erudite."

She is an Internet Consultant for Wolfram Research, Inc. in the Scientific Information Group.

"This is some of the most thoroughgoing blogger reporting I've ever seen; Cramer has delved into a story widely neglected in the professional press and has gotten astonishingly far with nothing more than a search engine, a telephone, and her own gumption."
-- Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing

"Kathryn Cramer wound up with a tour de force exploration of investigative journalism, showing how she built graphic overviews and Tinderbox prototype trees to explore complex cases involving money laundering, retired military personnel, fictitious secret societies with offshore bank accounts, and a complex taxonomy of threats and McGuffins that reads like Edward Gorey."
-- Mark Bernstein

"[Kathryn Cramer writes] things no sane human being can understand." -- Bruce Sterling.
