Ashley K. Morrow grew up on the Oregon coast listening to NOAA weather radio and sketching maps of imaginary archipelagos. She studied environmental science and medieval literature at Reed College and the University of Edinburgh, later working as a museum registrar and a weather station technician in the San Juan Islands. Her short fiction has appeared in venues such as Strange Horizons, Fireside, and The Dark, and her novella The Salt-Clock of Brynn won the North Coast Book Prize in 2017. She teaches community workshops, mentors emerging writers, and speaks about the intersections of climate, myth, and memory. Morrow lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with a boatbuilder partner and a melancholy whippet, and spends storm season walking the waterfront with a thermos and a notebook.
