Katherine Addison

Katherine Addison is the pseudonym of Sarah Elizabeth Monette, short story writer and novelist, and author of The Chronicles of Osreth.

Life
"Sarah Monette was born Sarah Elizabeth Smith on November 25, 1974" in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. "She studied Classics, English, and French at Case Western Reserve University, graduating summa cum laude in 1996, and earned her Master’s in 1997 and her Ph.D. in English literature in 2004, both at the University of Wisconsin. Her specialty is Renaissance drama, and her dissertation was about revenge tragedies. She married Allen Monette in 1998.

. . . Monette’s first novel Mélusine (2005) was a Tiptree and Crawford nominee, and began [the] fantasy series The Doctrine of Labyrinths, which continued in The Virtu (2006), The Mirador (2007), and Corambis (2009). She co-wrote the Iskryne fantasy novels. . . with Elizabeth Bear". She wrote The Goblin Emperor around the time she was writing The Mirador or Corambis. Ace Books, the publisher of The Doctrine of Labyrinths, bungled the release of the books in numerous ways, which messed up Monette's publishing numbers, on top of a publishing crash and a delay in completing the manuscript for Corambis, and ultimately led to the publishing relationship ending.

After The Doctrine of Labyrinths, Tor was interested in publishing Monette's next novel, but noted that Monette would need a pseudonym to avoid issues with Monette's prior publishing numbers. Monette agreed, as long as she could be open about it. She began publishing her works as Katherine Addison. The Goblin Emperor won the 2015 "Locus Award for best fantasy novel and [was] a finalist for Hugo, World Fantasy, and Nebula Awards."

"In 2006 and 2007, Monette was a finalist for the Campbell Award for best new writer. She lives near Madison, Wisconsin, USA."
