Mary Robinette Kowal is an American author, professional puppeteer, and voice actor. She has won four Hugo Awards and served as president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America from 2019 to 2021.
Her novel The Calculating Stars won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards, making it one of only eighteen novels to win all three. The Lady Astronaut series imagines an alternate 1950s where a meteor strike creates an extinction-level threat, accelerating humanity’s push into space. The books explore the space race through the eyes of Dr. Elma York, a mathematician and pilot fighting for the right to become an astronaut.
Kowal also writes the Glamourist Histories, Regency fantasies that combine Jane Austen’s social world with a magic system based on manipulating light and sound. She works as a puppeteer (including for LazyTown on CBS) and as an audiobook narrator.
