Biographical History

Andre (Alice Mary) Norton (1912-2005) was a multiple award-winning American science fiction and fantasy author, poet, and editor. Her writing career spanned more than seventy years, and she was a profound influence on the fantasy, science fiction, and "sword and sorcery" genres.

Born and educated in Cleveland, Ohio, she began writing and editing at a young age. She attended Western Reserve University, although she never graduated due to finances. She was assistant librarian and children's librarian at the Cleveland Public Libraries from 1932-1950, working in 38 of their 40 branches, with a brief interruption during World War II to work at the Library of Congress. She left the Cleveland Public Libraries in 1950 to be a reader for Gnome Press, a science fiction publishing house in Hicksville, Long Island.

Her first fantasy novel, Huon of the Horn, was published by Harcourt Brace in 1951; Star Man's Son, 2250 A.D., her first science fiction novel, was published the following year. By 1958 she had published 23 novels and several short stories, and felt confident enough to devote her full time to freelance writing. Although best known for her science fiction novels (including the "Witch World" series) written under the name Andre Norton, she also wrote mystery, fantasy, historical romances, and westerns. Norton wrote more than 130 novels, nearly one hundred short stories, and edited numerous anthologies in the science-fiction, fantasy, mystery, and western genres, and her work has been translated into eight languages, including Arabic. Norton was also an active letter-writer, often answering fan letters personally and engaging in lengthy correspondence with friends, fans, and fellow writers.

She was the first woman to be a Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA) Grand Master and to be inducted in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, and was a founding member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA). She received Skylark, Balrog, and World Fantasy awards, and was the first woman to win the Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy award. She was a member of the Women's National Book Association, Theta Sigma Phi, and encouraged beginning writers with "High Hallack," a retreat and research library for writers which she opened and ran from 1999-2004. The SFWA named an award in her honor, the Andre Norton Award for young adult novels, first given in 2006.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

The Alice Mary Norton Papers consists of correspondence, fanzines, memorabilia, and writings.

Correspondence, which comprises about half the collection, consists of letters to Norton from collaborators, fellow authors, editors, publishers, friends, and readers of her work (fans). Many women authors are represented, including Marion Zimmer Bradley, C.J. Cherryh, A.C. (Ann) Crispin, P.M. (Pauline) Griffin, Ursula Le Guin, Grace Hogarth, Alice Hopf, Ardath Mayhar, Anne McCaffrey, Sandra Miesel, Mary Ann Mogus, Hendry Peart, Mary Schaub, Rosemary Sutcliff, and Grace Warren. There is also substantial correspondence with authors Robert Adams, L. Sprague de Camp, John Jakes, David Kyle, Sterling Lanier, Eil Petaja, and illustrator Michael Gilbert and his wife Sheila, an editor at New American Library. Much of the fan mail was received in rubber-banded bundles labeled with a post-it "Interesting fan mail"; notable fans in the collection (many of whom later became authors or editors) include Rich Benyo, Rick Brooks, Bill Crawford, Gerry de la Ree, Marsha Elkin/Marsha Jones, Marj Krueger, Brad Linaweaver, Roger Schlobin, Linda Shadle, and Robbie Sturm. Although Norton's replies are not in the collection, the evidence suggests that she responded to letters from readers personally and at length.

Fanzines contains scattered issues of fanzines, a few of which contain pieces by Norton.

Memorabila contains two diaries, covering the last year or so of Norton's life. She was increasingly unwell, and the final few entries were written by Sue Stewart, Norton's caregiver and executor of her estate.

Writings, which represents just under half of the collection, consists of drafts, notes, galleys, page proofs, and a few cover layouts for anthologies, articles, books, and short stories. A few titles are collaborations with A.C. (Ann) Crispin or Ernestine Donaldy. Included in this series is substantial material related to Quag Keep, a fantasy novel set in the Dungeons & Dragons world of Greyhawk.
