Mary Robinette Kowal is a professional puppeteer who does more than just moonlight as a writer. This year she had been nominated for the John W. Campbell Best New Writer Award.
Mary has performed for LazyTown (CBS), the Center for Puppetry Arts, Jim Henson Pictures and founded Other Hand Productions. Her design work has garnered two UNIMA-USA Citations of Excellence, the highest award an American puppeteer can achieve.
Mrs. Kowal’s short fiction appears in Strange Horizons, Apex Digest and All-Star Stories: Presents Twenty Epics. She is the art director of Shimmer and a graduate of Orson Scott Card’s Literary BootCamp.
This podcast is the first in a series of Campbell Nominees.
