About the Author

C.M. Sullivan (she/her) is a queer American writer with Irish roots born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. A lifelong fiction writer, she received her bachelor’s degrees from Creighton University in English and journalism with a focus on American literature and creative writing, and her master’s degree in English from Creighton with a research focus on Southern gothic literature. She was a participant of Taos Toolbox’s 2024 program, a professional sci-fi/fantasy writing workshop headed by authors Nancy Kress and Walter Jon Williams.

C.M. Sullivan writes queer high fantasy stories about unlikely heroes facing cosmic odds, mean lesbians, and usually at least one horrifying eldritch deity. She spends lots of time in libraries, photographing abandoned buildings, and snuggling her cats, Rowan and Ophelia.

She is currently querying her debut novel.
