Connie Willis is an American SF writer, the only author to date to have won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award in all four lengths (novel, novella, novelette, and short story). She has also won the Robert A. Heinlein Award.

Novels

Short story collections

Connie Willis provides examples of the following tropes:

Can't Take Anything with You
Yet Another Christmas Carol: "Adaptation" is a rather less formulaic take on the standard Christmas visitation formula
Divided We Fall
Exact Eavesdropping
Fix Fic
Flatline Plotline
Godwin's Law of Time Travel
Good Shepherd
History Marches On: The long timespan over which the Oxford Time Travellers series has been published (30 years and counting) leads to weird things like September Eleventh pooping up in the backstory in the last book and all the cats going extinct in 2004. It probably would have been easier just to make it an Alternate History where the Communists with the pinpoint replaced Al Qaeda, but apparently not.
In Mysterious Ways
In the Past Everyone Will Be Famous
In Which a Trope Is Described
Littlest Cancer Patient
Never the Selves Shall Meet
Temporal Sickness
What Year Is This?
