Martha Wells (born September 1, 1964)[1] is an American writer of speculative fiction. She has published a number of science fiction and fantasy (SF/F) novels, young adult novels, media tie-ins, short stories, and nonfiction essays on SF/F subjects; her novels have been translated into twelve languages.[2] Wells is praised for the complex, realistically detailed societies she creates; this is often credited to her academic background in anthropology.[3][4]

She has won four Hugo Awards, two Nebula Awards and three Locus Awards for her science fiction series The Murderbot Diaries. Wells is also known for her fantasy series Ile-Rien and The Books of the Raksura.
