Description
Kemi Ashing-Giwa was born and raised in Southern California, USA. She lived in Cambridge for two years for college but spent half of her undergraduate educational term at home in quarantine. She often enrolled in the creative writing conservatory in high school. Ashing-Giwa earned her BA at Harvard in integrative biology (previously known as organismic and evolutionary biology), and she minored in astrophysics. She works on her PhD program in the renamed Earth & Planetary Sciences department. “Very broadly speaking, I’m interested in the interplay between environmental and biological change over geological timescales.”[1]
Her work includes the USA Today bestselling, Compton Crook Award-winning novel The Splinter in the Sky, an intensely imagined Space Opera set in the aftermath of a failed war of interstellar conquest.[2] She also wrote the novella This World Is Not Yours, and the forthcoming novel The King Must Die. Her short fiction, which has been nominated for an Ignyte Award and featured on the Locus Recommended Reading List, has been reprinted in collections including Some of the Best from Tor.com: 15th Anniversary Edition and The Year’s Top Tales of Space and Time. She is now pursuing a PhD in the Earth & Planetary Sciences department at Stanford.
For Wizards of the Coast, Ashing-Giwa wrote a Magic Story for Edge of Eternities.[3]
