Tiptree Anthology 1
Edited by Karen Joy Fowler, Pat Murphy, Debbie Notkin & Jeffrey D. Smith Tachyon Publications, 2005
The first in a new series of anthologies celebrating the Tiptree Award, this volume gathers short fiction, novel excerpts and essays that were chosen by the Tiptree Award jurors in 2003, and in previous years. There is an excerpt from the winning novel, Set This House in Order by Matt Ruff, and short fiction by Richard Calder, Kara Dalkey, Carol Emshwiller, Sandra McDonald, Ruth Nestvold and Geoff Ryman. There are also stories by Karen Joy Fowler and Kelly Link from earlier award years; a new translation of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” the story which inspired two modern retellings in this book; introductions by Karen Joy Fowler and Pat Murphy; new essays by Suzy McKee Charnas, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Joanna Russ; and a memoir by Alice Sheldon/James Tiptree herself. This anthology Booklist described the volume as “A superior array of creative and thoughtful writing for both genders.”
$15.95, Trade paperback, 302 pages
Tiptree Anthology 2
Edited by Karen Joy Fowler, Pat Murphy, Debbie Notkin & Jeffrey D. Smith Tachyon Publications, 2006
Featuring excerpts from the winning novels by Joe Haldeman and Johanna Sinisalo, as well as stories from the 2004 Tiptree shortlist and a selection of earlier winners and shortlisted stories. Other writers in this volume include Gwyneth Jones, Jonathan Lethem, Raphael Carter, Eileen Gunn, Ursula K. Le Guin, Nalo Hopkinson, and others. The nonfiction includes an essay from Tiptree’s biographer Julie Phillips, along with others by Nalo Hopkinson and Gwyneth Jones.
This is the second in a series of annual anthologies, the previous being, oddly enough, The James Tiptree Award Anthology 1. An earlier anthology, Flying Cups & Saucers, was published several years earlier. There is no overlap in stories among the anthologies. That would be so redundant!

Tiptree Anthology 3
Edited by Karen Joy Fowler, Pat Murphy, Debbie Notkin & Jeffrey D. Smith Tachyon Publications, 2006

A limited number are silkscreened and made available at the site of the Tiptree Ceremony; they sell out very quickly, though sometimes Tiptree shirts do show up at auctions, where they inspire wild bidding.
