From Obon traditions to a life-changing poem by W. Todd Kaneko, I wrote about the inspirations/sub journey of my Hugo-nominated poem, “there are no taxis for the dead" in Uncanny Magazine liu-angela.com/2025/04/30/a-s…

I have a new story out in clarkesworld! “Brainstem Disco, 2191” explores the association of music with memories (and I’d love if you listened to the quasi-soundtrack while reading!) clarkesworldmagazine.com/liu_05_25/

I love how this story makes sorrow feel almost danceable.

Contract signed! My body horror story, “Swallow Test” will be in a future issue of Nightmare Magazine! So excited to have my first fiction sale at one of my favorite magazines!

I have an interview in the latest issue of Uncanny Magazine! I talk about the inspiration/writing process for my latest story, how I develop my characters, and some of my favorite artwork. uncannymagazine.com/article/interv…

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you a poem isn’t a poem just because it doesn’t rhyme or follow a fixed form. A poem is a distilled feeling, a condensed moment in time—it's language at its very best, like a punch to the gut that leaves you winded, dazed, longing for another.

It took nearly 60 rejections before my first short story acceptance. And it was only after I started thinking “screw it, time to write to some weird unhinged stuff.” Anyways, Happy 3rd Anniversary to my first published story, "Ppaka" in The Dark thedarkmagazine.com/ppaka/

Strange Horizons has been one of the best spec magazines for more than two DECADES. They’ve supported diverse voices from the start and are always the first place I go for spec poetry. I’ve donated and if you love spec short fic/poetry, this is a great investment in its future.

I have a new sci-fi story out at Cast of Wonders (my first audio reprint!)! “KAOSU: The Last Moving Country In The World” is about dark tourism, influencer culture, and a train closed off from the outside world. castofwonders.org/2025/06/cast-o…

Hey, I’m doing my first online reading ever on 6/19 (*cue panic*). I’ll be reading from my Locus Award-nominated story “Another Girl Under the Iron Bell” (in Uncanny Magazine) alongside Premee Mohamed. Check out the full schedule of readings here: locusmag.com/2025-locus-awa…

My poem, “High School Graduation, June 2099” is out today in the final issue of Worlds of Possibility! Loved Julia Rios's description for it: “queer solarpunk futures and the bittersweetness of coming of age.” Check it out here: juliarios.com/introducing-th…

It’s out!! My cursed tattoo story “A Contract of Ink and Skin” is in here alongside some of the best weird stories of 2024 (with one of my favorite covers in recent memory)! Loved Alex Woodroe's foreword and the idea of “a garden of Weird and wonder.” store.tenebrouspress.com/products/brave…

Go read THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART by Monika Kim if you haven’t already. This book fixed my attention span—I’ve never finished a novel so fast. The REVENGE, the gasp-out-loud body horror, the toxic parents/intergenerational trauma—this is horror at its absolute best.

Ahh, so cool to see my Uncanny Magazine story “Another Girl Under the Iron Bell” featured in this video about curses in fiction! Thanks OWAW Vol III OUT NOW 📖✏️!! youtu.be/GTEQ7yKXBZE?si…

Look what came in the mail 😭 Thanks Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association!

I have a new poem out in TheCosmicBackground! “Toba Catastrophe Theory” is one of the first spec poems I wrote and still has one of my favorite lines. So happy to see another magazine publishing spec poetry! thecosmicbackground.com/poetry/angela-…

Today my book child is out in the world! Thank you for all the support! This is so surreal.

Happy to see my Uncanny Magazine story “Barbershops of the Floating City” recommended alongside so many of my recent favorites 🙏 uncannymagazine.com/article/barber…
