Biographical Note
Andre Norton (
Alice Mary Norton) was born
February 7, 1912 in
Cleveland, Ohio. After an early career as a
children’s librarian,
Andre Norton turned to full-time writing as her
profession, publishing her first novel in
1934. She legally changed her name to
Andre Norton
believing that readers of science fiction and fantasy would accept that name
better than
Alice Mary
Norton.
Her first science fiction novel,
Star Man’s Son, was a great success,
launching her into the science fiction and fantasy genre, where she has
achieved the most favorable response, although her other novels are also well
regarded. She has published over 100 novels, many of which are in series.
The Witch World series is her most
popular body of work, now numbering over 30 books.
Andre Norton is highly regarded in the science
fiction and fantasy community. She has won numerous awards, including the
Phoenix Award for overall achievement in science fiction, the Gandalf Grand
Master of Fantasy Award in 1977 for lifetime achievement, The Nebula Grand
Master Award of the SFWA in 1974, for lifetime achievement, the Jules Verne
Award in 1984, and a Life Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention
in 1998.
