Nancy Kress
New Yorker Nancy Kress didn't set out to be a writer.
A voracious reader from her youth, Kress (born Nancy Anne Koningisor in 1948) first became an elementary teacher, teaching fourth grade until she married and became a mother.
While pregnant with her second son, Kress began to write. She published a short story and a novel before taking a job doing corporate writing and occasionally teaching while delegating her fiction writing to a part-time status.
In 1990, she once again returned to full-time writing and proceeded to produce several novels and short stories. These books have been translated into 11 languages. Her short fiction has won her three Nebulas and two Hugos and a whole host of nominations.
Combining her passion for teaching and writing, Kress continues to teach and writes a monthly column for Writer's Digest.
