More Information


This profile moderated by Nicky Drayden.

Bio

Nicky Drayden is a writer dabbling in mostly science fiction and everyday weird. If it doesn't involve color-shifting love aliens, psychotropic sea slugs, gold diggers from alternate universes, or bending space-time in order to seduce your sister's fiancé, then she's probably not interested in writing it. 

She is currently eligible for the John W. Campbell Award for best new science fiction or fantasy writer whose first work of science fiction or fantasy was published in a professional publication in the previous two years.
