Merc Fenn Wolfmoor

Merc Fenn Wolfmoor (born June 14, 1986) is a prolific American author of speculative fiction short stories,[1][2] active in the field since 2007.

[3] Their works have been published in a number of magazines and anthologies, including various collections of the year's best stories, and have been finalists for the Otherwise, Locus, and Nebula Awards.

[5] They identify as queer, non-binary,[2][5] aromantic, and asexual, are autistic,[6] and have depression and anxiety;[7] they also believe they have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but were still seeking diagnosis as of 2021[update].

[13] Their story in that latter anthology, "Our Aim Is Not To Die", addresses the issue of ableism[14] and features an autistic "non-binary human being who lives in a world where you're forced to choose a gender, or you are erased".

[16] Apex Magazine described Wolfmoor's fiction as "personal, raw, intimate, and powerful, featuring strong characters who are either on a journey to know exactly who they are, or have already reached that point and are waiting for others to catch up".
