Kameron Hurley is an American science fiction and fantasy writer.

Biography

Hurley was born in Washington state and has lived in Fairbanks, Alaska, Durban, South Africa, and Chicago. She currently resides in Dayton, Ohio.

Hurley has been publishing short fiction since 1998 and novels since 2011. From 2013 to 2021 Hurley wrote regular columns for Locus magazine about the craft and business of fiction writing and has published non-fiction pieces in The Atlantic, Boing Boing, Entertainment Weekly, Bitch (magazine), Tor.com, Uncanny Magazine, HuffPost, The Mary Sue, Female First, Writer's Digest, and LA Weekly. Hurley is a graduate of Clarion West.

Her first novel trilogy, the Bel Dame Apocrypha, is what Hurley called "bugpunk": set on a far-future desert planet whose technology is based on insects and whose matriarchal, Islam-inspired cultures are locked in perpetual war. Her second trilogy, the Worldbreaker Saga, is grimdark epic fantasy that aims to subvert the genre's tropes such as the hero's journey. She has also published a standalone space opera novel, The Stars are Legion, in 2017, and the military science fiction time travel novel, The Light Brigade, in 2019.

Her first nonfiction book, the essay collection The Geek Feminist Revolution, was published in 2016.
