Career

edit

McHugh's first published story was published as a Twilight Zone under a male pseudonym in 1988.[1] It was followed by a pair of publications under her own name in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in 1989. Since then, she has written four novels and over twenty short stories.

Her first novel, China Mountain Zhang (1992), was nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, and won the James Tiptree, Jr. Award.[1] In 1996 she won a Hugo Award for her short story "The Lincoln Train" (1995). Her short story collection Mothers and Other Monsters was shortlisted as a finalist for The Story Prize in December 2005.[2]

McHugh has worked as a writer and/or managing editor for numerous alternate reality game projects, including Year Zero and I Love Bees for 42 Entertainment. Since 2009 she has been a partner at No Mimes Media, an alternate reality game company that she co-founded with Steve Peters and Behnam Karbassi.[3]
