Fiction
Although Mary had published poetry and academic works before attending the Clarion Writers workshop, her main publications in science fiction occurred following Clarion, with the publication of the stories “What Do I See In You” in Writers of the Future Volume IV, and “Kings” in Pulphouse: the Hardback magazine. After this her work appeared regularly in the SF magazines such as The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Analog Science Fiction and Fact, as well as original anthologies such as Universe and Fast Forward.
Her first novel, An Old Fashioned Martian Girl was serialized in Analog magazine in 2004.[8]
Poetry
Turzillo is also a poet, published in a number of national publications. Her collection of poetry, Your Cat & Other Space Aliens, was published by VanZeno Press in 2007. A collaborative collection of poetry and fiction, Dragon Soup (written with artist and poet Marge Simon), appeared from VanZeno in 2008, and another collaboration with Simon, The Dragon's Dictionary, was published by Sam's Dot in 2010.
She has won several Ohio Poetry Day[9] awards. In 2013, she won the Science Fiction Poetry Association's Elgin Award for best poetry book for her collection Lovers and Killers (Dark Regions, 2012).[10]

She is married to fellow science fiction writer Geoffrey A. Landis.[11]
