About Yume (she/her)

​

I am a writer of speculative fiction represented by Mary C. Moore.

​

I am half-Japanese and half-American and grew up in a space between two cultures -- the same space where my stories reside.

​

I've been writing since I was little, because I was afraid of the dark. (I'm still afraid of the dark.)

​

My debut novel, The Deep Sky, is out now, and my second book, The Stardust Grail, is out June 11, 2024. Both are published by Flatiron Books (Macmillan).

​

I graduated from Stuyvesant High School and Princeton University and live in Brooklyn with two cats, Boondoggle and Filibuster.
