Tuttle began writing when she attended Kincaid School in Piney Point Village, Texas. At Lamar High School in Houston, she became an active member of the science fiction fandom and founded and published the fanzine Mathom of the Houston Science Fiction Society . At Syracuse University she wrote for the university fanzine Tomorrow And… .

In 1971 she attended the Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop while studying at Tulane University in New Orleans, with the result that she was able to publish her first short story Stranger in the House in the anthology Clarion II edited by Robin Wilson in 1972 .

In 1973 she founded the Turkey City Writer's Workshop in Austin with several other science fiction writers ( Howard Waldrop , Steven Utley and Bruce Sterling ) . Together with Spider Robinson , she received the John W. Campbell Best New Writer Award in 1974 . A collaboration with George RR Martin , The Storms of Windhaven , earned her the Locus Award in 1976 and a nomination for the Hugo Award . Tuttle and Martin continued to work on the content and published the resulting novel in 1981 under the title Windhaven , which in turn was nominated for the Locus Award in 1982.

For the next 25 years she wrote primarily science fiction and fantasy short stories and novels, including Lost Futures , nominated for the 1992 Arthur C. Clarke Award and the James Tiptree, Jr. Award . She also writes youth literature and has published a number of titles, including Catwitch (with illustrator Una Woodruff) (1983), Panther in Argyll (1996) and Love-on-Line (1998). She participated as an author under the pseudonym Maria Palmer on the twelve-part series Horrorscope and contributed as a co-author of texts to Ben M. Baglio's Dolphin Diaries (2002-2004). Nonfiction books are also part of her field of activity, for example she wrote the Encyclopedia of Feminism (1986) and Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction (2002). As editor, she published Skin of the Soul: New Horror Stories by Women (1990) and Crossing the Border: Tales of Erotic Ambiguity (1998); the latter deals with the topic of transgender people .

Her short story Replacements was adapted in 1999 in the Canadian horror television series The Hunger . Another short story called Community Property served as the basis for the French short film Propriété commune in 2005 .

Focus

Very often Tuttle's works deal with gender-specific aspects such as "strong women" who question their own role and identity. The British author David V. Barrett once wrote about her works that they are "emotionally uncomfortable" (something like: "... the reader feels emotionally uncomfortable ...") and "they not only make you think, they make you feel". ("They (the texts) not only make the reader think, they feel the writing."). Most of your works are associated with feminist science fiction. The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English says that many of her texts use elements of science fiction and the horror genre to "dramatize aspects of the human, and specifically the female." , condition ")

Nebula Award controversy

Lisa Tuttle turned down her Nebula Award in 1982 as the only person to date (as of 10/2012). Her short story The Bone Flute , which appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1981 , was nominated for the Nebula Award in 1982. Lisa Tuttle objected to another nomination because George Guthridge sent his story The Quiet directly to members of the SFWA . However, the SFWA has no regulations as to who submits the nominations. In this case it was the author himself and Lisa Tuttle disliked that. She sent a letter to Frank Catalano (then director of the award ceremony) on the grounds that she did not support this form of nomination (“I don't approve of this kind of campaigning”). Your letter reached Catalano only after the election, so that the winner, The Bone Flute, had already been announced. When Lisa Tuttle was informed of the result and its price, she immediately declined on the grounds that she had withdrawn the story from the elimination. For this reason, she will not be present at the ceremony on April 24, 1982. On April 29th, she received a message from John Douglas (editor of Pocket Books) who said that he had received the award for her.

George RR Martin later wrote an open letter to SFWA. He wrote that he did not share Tuttle's decision not to accept the award, but that he criticized the way in which the SFWA had dealt with the incident: “She has made a difficult and considerable sacrifice on grounds of principle, and [...] I feel very strongly that she had a right to be heard. "(" She made a difficult decision against the price and for her principles ... but I think she has a right to be heard. ") 2003 Tuttle said in an interview: “I think my main regret is that people may assume that I object to awards on principle, and never nominate anything by me for anything again! I would love to win some awards, especially ones with money attached… ”(“ It is unfortunate that many people now assume that I would not accept any kind of award. I love to win prizes, especially those with Prize money is endowed ... ")
