Kameron Hurley is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. Hurley won the 2011 Sydney J. Bounds Award for Best Newcomer, presented by the British Fantasy Society, and the 2011 Kitschies for Best Debut Novel. Her work has also been nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the BSFA Award, and the Nebula award; shortlisted for a Locus Award for Best Debut Novel; and made the Tiptree Award Honor List "for works of science fiction or fantasy that expand or explore one's understanding of gender."

Life

Hurley was born in Washington State and has lived in Fairbanks, Alaska; Durban, South Africa and Chicago, Illinois. She currently resides in Dayton, Ohio.[1][2]

Writing

Hurley has been publishing short fiction since 1998,[3] and has been writing novels since 2010.[4] Hurley writes occasional columns for Locus magazine about the craft and business of fiction writing.[5]

Her first novel trilogy, the Bel Dame Apocrypha, is what Hurley called "bugpunk": set on a far-future desert planet whose technology is based on insects and whose matriarchal, Islam-inspired cultures are locked in perpetual war. Her second trilogy, the Worldbreaker Saga, is grimdark epic fantasy that aims to subvert the genre's tropes such as the hero's journey.[6] She has also announced a standalone space opera novel, The Stars are Legion.[7]

Her first nonfiction book, the essay collection The Geek Feminist Revolution, was published in 2016.

Awards

In 2011, Hurley's work God’s War (part of the Bel Dame Apocrypha series)[4] won the Chesley Award for Best Cover Illustration and the Golden Tentacle Kitschy Award for Best Debut Novel.[8]

In 2012, Hurley won the Sydney J. Bounds Best Newcomer Award.[9] In August 2014, she won the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer, and her May 2013 essay "'We Have Always Fought': Challenging the 'Women, Cattle and Slaves' Narrative" won the Hugo for Best Related Work.[10][11][12]
