==Biography==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Beinggardnerdozois.jpg|frame|left|Front cover of Michael Swanwick's book-length interview with Dozois, ''Being Gardner Dozois''.]] -->
Dozois was born July 23, 1947 in [[Salem, Massachusetts]]<ref>"Gardner Dozois: The Good Stuff," Interview, ''Locus: The Magazine of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Field'', Nov. 2008, issue 574, pages 68-70.</ref> From 1966 to '69 he served in the [[United States Army|Army]] as a journalist, after which he moved to New York City to work as an editor in the science fiction field.
Dozois has said that he turned to reading fiction partially as an escape from the provincialism of his home town.
He was badly injured in a taxi accident after returning from a [[Philadelphia Phillies]] game in 2004 (causing him to miss [[Worldcon]] for the first time in many years) but made a full recovery. On July 6, 2007, Dozois had surgery for a planned [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|quintuple bypass operation]]. A week later, he experienced complications which prompted additional surgery to implant a [[Defibrillation|defibrillator]]. He was later said to be recovering and preparing to return home from hospital.
He currently lives in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]].
== Fiction ==
As a writer, Dozois has mainly worked in shorter forms. He won the [[Nebula Award]] [[Nebula Award for Best Short Story|for best short story]] twice: once for "The Peacemaker" in 1983, and again for "Morning Child" in 1984. His short fiction has been collected in ''The Visible Man'' (1977), ''Geodesic Dreams'' (a best-of collection), ''Slow Dancing through Time'' (1990, collaborations), ''Strange Days'' (2001, another best-of collection), ''Morning Child and Other Stories'' (2004) and ''When the Great Days Come'' (2011). As a novelist, Dozois's oeuvre is significantly smaller. He is the author of one solo novel, [[Strangers (science fiction novel)|''Strangers'']] (1978), as well as a collaboration with [[George Alec Effinger]], ''Nightmare Blue'' (1977), and a collaboration with [[George R. R. Martin]] and [[Daniel Abraham (author)|Daniel Abraham]] for ''Hunter's Run'' (2008). After becoming editor of ''Asimov's'', Dozois's fiction output dwindled, but he is now making a comeback, with his 2006 novelette "Counterfactual" winning the [[Sidewise Award]] for best alternate-history short story. Dozois has also agreed to write short fiction reviews for ''[[Locus (magazine)|Locus]]''.
== Editorial work ==
Dozois is perhaps best known as an editor, winning a record 15 [[Hugo Award]]s for [[Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor|Best Professional Editor]] (having won nearly every year between 1988 and his retirement from ''Asimov's'' in 2004). In addition to his work with ''Asimov's'' (which he also co-founded in 1976), he also worked in the 1970s with magazines such as [[Galaxy Science Fiction]], [[If (magazine)|If]], [[Worlds of Fantasy]], and [[Worlds of Tomorrow (magazine)|Worlds of Tomorrow]].<ref>"Gardner Dozois: The Good Stuff," Interview, Locus: The Magazine of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Field, Nov. 2008, issue 574, pages 68-70.</ref>
Dozois is a well-known short fiction anthologist. After resigning from his ''Asimov's'' position, he remained the editor of the anthology series ''[[The Year's Best Science Fiction]]'', published annually since 1984. And, with [[Jack Dann]], he has edited a long series of themed anthologies, each with a self-explanatory title such as ''Cats'', ''Dinosaurs'', ''Seaserpents'', or ''[[Hackers (short stories)|Hackers]]''.
Dozois has consistently expressed a particular interest in adventure SF and [[space opera]], which he collectively refers to as "center-core SF".<ref>[http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/2007/dt0710.htm Gardner Dozois, the Revitalization of Genre SF, and The New Space Opera] by Dave Truesdale, Fantasy and Science Fiction, accessed Nov. 3, 2008.</ref>
[[Michael Swanwick]], with whom Dozois has collaborated on fiction, published with [[Old Earth Books]] a book-length interview with him in 2001. Titled ''Being Gardner Dozois'', it covered each published piece of fiction Dozois ever wrote. In 2002 it was nominated in the category [[Hugo Award for Best Related Book]]<ref>http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/NomLit134.html</ref> It won the 2002 [[Locus Award]] for Non-Fiction.<ref>http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/NomLit134.html</ref>
