Author Bio:
Cara Masten DiGirolamo writes fantastic fiction--from music that can cause earthquakes, to fairie drag balls, and queer romcoms. She is a graduate of the 2015 Odyssey Writing Workshop, and has an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia (2022). She is a queer writer of speculative and young adult fiction, a playwright, and an artist, an amateur bookbinder and an instructor in the secret art of Turkish paper marbling. With a PhD in Linguistics from Cornell University, she is renowned in some circles for DiGirolamo 2012, an article on the phonology of fandom pairing names, and not at all renowned for her expertise on Middle Welsh pronouns. Her play, "Weather Report" was produced as part of the 2020 Brave New Play Rites festival, and an excerpt of her pilot screenplay for the queer ballroom-dance sitcom "Sway" was read at the Vancouver Cold Reading Series in March 2021. Her short fiction appears in the venues above.
