"Dawson’s writing is both sharp and wistful, reminiscent of V.E. Schwab at her best." - Washington Post
J.R. Dawson (she/they) is a Nebula finalist and the Golden Crown award-winning author of The First Bright Thing. They have had shorter works in places such as F&SF, Lightspeed, Sunday Morning Transport, and Uncanny. Dawson currently lives on Dakota land in Minnesota with her loving wife. She teaches at Drexel University’s MFA program for creative writing, and fills her free time with keeping her three chaotic dogs out of trouble. Her latest book, The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World, is a sapphic Orpheus retelling.
