Margaret Eleanor Atwood is a Canadian pro writer. She has written works on a variety of topics and genres, and is probably most famous for her dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale, which has been adapted into a live-action series streaming on Hulu. She has been active on Wattpad and judged their poetry contest in 2012.[1]
She has said that her works are not science fiction because “Science fiction has monsters and spaceships; speculative fiction could really happen.”[2] Ursula K. LeGuin disagrees, and has said that several of Atwood's books use the same kind of extrapolation as other science fiction works.
