Connie Willis has appeared in over fifty anthologies across four decades, from The Berkley Showcase in 1981 to Robots Through the Ages in 2023. The breadth of these appearances reflects both her prolific short fiction output and the consistent quality that has made her one of the most reprinted authors in the genre.
The anthologies range from best-of-the-year collections and Nebula Awards volumes to themed anthologies on subjects from vampires to space cadets. Willis’s ability to write comedy, drama, and everything in between means her work appears alongside an extraordinary variety of other authors and styles.
