READER BIOS

Meghan Hyland
Since first “getting serious about writing” at Clarion East in the late 90s, Meghan Hyland has been a computer science professor, an AI researcher, and a software developer. That background has proven useful for writing stories about future AI and other forms of embodied intelligence. Her work has so far been published in Analog SF, Queer SciFi’s flash fiction anthology RISE, and (upcoming) Embodied Exegesis, an anthology of transfeminine cyberpunk futures. She lives in Seattle, where she cares for the two cats she was issued upon becoming an official science fiction writer.

Her debut dark fantasy/horror short story collection “Skin Thief: Stories” is out now from Neon Hemlock and her novella “Countess” will be published by ECW Press 2024. Her writing has been published in Lightspeed Magazine, Fantasy, The Deadlands, The Dark Magazine, PseudoPod, Fireside Fiction Quarterly, PodCastle, Anathema: Spec Fic from the Margins and other venues.
