Meredith Jacobs is an American science fiction writer and former architectural lighting designer. Born in 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she studied physics at the University of New Mexico and earned an MFA in creative writing from Portland State University. Throughout the 2010s she worked on smart-city illumination projects in Reykjavik and Singapore, experiences that inform her fascination with urban ecologies and artificial light. Her short fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons, Lightspeed, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and she has been a finalist for the Sturgeon Award. She lives in Portland, Oregon, where she hikes rain-soaked hills with a retired racing greyhound and tinkers with homemade spectrometers.
