Sawyer has won twenty-five national and international awards for his fiction, including an Arthur Ellis Award from the Crime Writers of Canada, seven Aurora Awards (Canada’s top honor in science fiction), the Science Fiction Chronicle Reader Award, and the top SF awards in France (Le Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire), twice in Japan (Seiun), and twice in Spain (Premio UPC de Ciencia Ficción); he’s also been nominated for the Horror Writers Association’s Bram Stoker Award.
