JR Creaden (they/them) is an author and freelance editor who was raised in the Low Country and Appalachian piedmonts and dreams of living somewhere cold. As soon as they could read, they knew they wanted to be an author. They penned poetry, songs, and essays, and read everything within reach, preferring ghost stories and fantasy until discovering science fiction. Though fascinated by space and its unlimited possibilities, they never saw people like themselves in books. Now JR writes speculative fiction for children and adults to remind dreamers like themselves--who can't math, don't fight, and wouldn't dare fly rocketships--that they have an important place in humanity's story wherever it lands, just the way they are.
