About

Kailee Pedersen writes haunted, unsettling speculative fiction. She graduated with a B.A. in Classics from Columbia University, specializing in ancient Greek. Kailee was adopted from Nanning in 1996 and grew up in Nebraska, where her family owns a farm. Her writing on LGBTQ+ and Asian American themes was awarded an Artist Fellowship by the Nebraska Arts Council in 2015.

When not scribbling down her next book, you can catch her singing opera, playing video games, or working as a software engineer in New York City. 

Her debut novel, SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS, is forthcoming from St. Martin’s Press (US) and Titan Books (UK). She is represented by Paul Lucas at Janklow & Nesbit.
