Connie Willis has been one of the most important voices in science fiction since the early 1980s. Her work ranges from slapstick comedy to deeply moving historical fiction, often within the same story. The Oxford Time Travel series, her best-known work, sends historians from a near-future Oxford back in time to study the past firsthand, with results that are by turns hilarious and devastating.

Beyond the time travel books, Willis has published ten standalone novels, six short story collections, and dozens of individual stories. Her range is unusual: Bellwether (1996) is a comedy about fads and scientific research, while Passage (2001) is a serious novel about near-death experiences, and The Road to Roswell (2023) is a road-trip alien abduction comedy. She has contributed to over fifty anthologies and is the most awarded author in Hugo history.
