edit data

Solaris Santaella is an author, editor, and creative force to be reckoned with. With a BA in English from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MA in Publishing from Western Colorado University, Solaris is determined to confront inequality on and off the page. Particularly within genre fiction, they hope to create space for stories featuring dazzling other worlds that aren’t afraid to tackle the issues marginalized people face in this one. They were awarded a Eudora Welty Fiction Thesis Prize in 2016 and a Writers of the Future Honorable Mention in 2024. Solaris currently resides in Anchorage, Alaska, with strong family ties to the American Southwest.
