Ashley Lezak (they/she) is a disabled author of uncomfortable speculative fiction. Their work is inspired by contradictions in intent versus impact, by the spaces that lie between what you acknowledge and what is there right in front of you.


They spent their childhood half-feral on the western edge of the Mojave Desert and now live in the lush greenery of Seattle, where they spend their time building their personal library, engaging in local activism, and fighting with insurance companies.
