AMAICA AND NOW
living in both Toronto and California, Nalo Hopkinson is known for her distinctive use of Caribbean myth and folklore in her award-winning science fiction and fantasy novels.

One of SF/F’s most popular and respected authors, she is also a consistent and eloquent voice for progressive ideas (and outcomes) in writing and publishing.

She has a master’s degree in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University, and currently teaches at U.C. Riverside, where she says there are lizards. She likes lizards.

In addition to her novels and stories, which have brought new life and depth to the literature of the fantastic, Hopkinson regularly edits original anthologies, and is a founding member of the Carl Brandon Society, which exists to further the conversation on race and ethnicity in SF and Fantasy.

She also cooks and sews and avoids driving whenever possible.
