Sheila Williams, the longest-serving editor in Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine’s history who worked directly alongside Isaac Asimov from 1982 until his death in 1992 and whose editorial tenure saw stories she championed win 53 Hugo Awards and 28 Nebula Awards, suffered a brain aneurysm in January 2026 that led to a heart attack and a stroke. After nine months of rehabilitation, her Medicare coverage is ending August 7th while her husband David battles Parkinson’s disease. Her daughters Irene and Juliet have launched a GoFundMe to cover assisted living costs for both parents at gofundme.com/f/help-irenes-parents-get-skilled-nursing-care — and the science fiction community that benefited from Sheila Williams’s four decades of editorial work has an opportunity to return the investment she made in the genre.
