Griffith's earliest surviving literary efforts include an illustrated booklet she was encouraged to create to prevent her from making trouble among her fellow nursery school students.<ref name="Party1" />{{rp|17}} At age eleven she won a BBC student poetry prize and read aloud her winning work for radio broadcast.

E. Smith]], [[Frank Herbert]], and [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]; nonfiction and history – [[Edward Gibbon]]'s ''[[The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire]]'' was a particular favorite.<ref name="Aud" />

Griffith took interest in the sciences as a teenager. She entered [[University of Leeds]] to study microbiology but did not complete a degree.<ref name=":2" /> Griffith was the lead singer and cofounder of the band Janes Plane, which experienced some success in England before breaking up.<ref name=":2" />

By the late 1980s, Griffith had begun experiencing symptoms of [[multiple sclerosis]] (MS), though her illness remained undiagnosed. She was diagnosed with MS in March 1993.<ref name="94int" />

While studying at [[Michigan State University]], Griffith met and fell in love with fellow writer [[Kelley Eskridge]].<ref name="94int" /> On 4 September 1993, Griffith and Eskridge announced their commitment ceremony in ''[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]]'',<ref>{{cite news|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->|date=19 September 1993|title=Commitment – Griffith-Eskridge|page=L3|newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|ref=ajc_commitment}}</ref> perhaps the first same-sex commitment announcement the paper had published. Griffith and Eskridge were legally married 4 September 2013.

Griffith wanted citizenship so she could remain in the country with her wife, but because she was a lesbian, she couldn't receive citizenship through marriage, and all other pathways were closed.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|last=Griffith|first=Nicola|date=13 October 2008|title=Virgin birth (yes, really)|url=https://nicolagriffith.com/2008/10/13/virgin-birth-yes-really/|access-date=25 February 2022|website=Nicola Griffith|language=en}}</ref> After much effort, Griffith received permission to live and work in the United States based on her "importance as a writer of lesbian/science fiction," making her the first out lesbian to receive a National Interest Waiver.<ref name="94int" /> Her immigration resulted in a new law, and she is now [[dual citizenship in the United States of America|a dual US]]/UK citizen.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|title=Nicola Griffith|url=https://aru.ac.uk/graduation-and-alumni/alumni-network/alumni-stories/alumni-of-the-month/nicola-griffith|access-date=25 February 2022|website=Angela Ruskin University|language=en}}</ref>

== Career ==
In late 1987 Griffith made her first professional fiction sale: "Mirrors and Burnstone" to ''[[Interzone (magazine)|Interzone]]''. Her debut novel, ''Ammonite,'' received several offers from publishers, including [[St. Martin's Press]], [[MU Press|Avon Press]], and [[Del Rey Books]].<ref name="94int" /> Griffith has since published nine full-length novels, a memoir, and numerous short stories, essays, and novellas. While Griffith has said that she "resists labels to describer her work," much of her published material contains themes of gender and sexuality.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Booker |first1=M. K. |title=The science fiction handbook |last2=Thomas |first2=Anne-Marie |date=2009 |publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated. |isbn=9781405162050 |pages=151–152 |chapter=Nicola Griffith (1960–)}}</ref>

In 2015, Griffith "founded the Literary Prize Data working group whose purpose initially was to assemble data on literary prizes in order to get a picture of how gender bias operates within the trade publishing ecosystem."<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|date=24 February 2014|title=About|url=https://nicolagriffith.com/2014/02/24/about/|access-date=25 February 2022|website=Nicola Griffith|language=en}}</ref>

In 2015 she began #CripLit, an online community for disabled writers."<ref name=":3" />

In 2017, after completing her thesis, entitled "Norming the Queer: Narrative Empathy via Focalised Heterotopia," Griffith received her PhD by publication from Anglia Ruskin University.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{Cite web |last=Griffith |first=Nicola |date=4 July 2017 |title=The story of my PhD, Part 1: Opportunity |url=https://nicolagriffith.com/2017/07/03/the-story-of-my-phd-part-1-opportunity/ |access-date=25 February 2022 |website=Nicola Griffith |language=en}}</ref>
