Laura Cranehill was born in Michigan where she grew up on a haunted peacock farm. She’s lived in California, Morocco, and Oregon. She went to the University of California San Diego for neuroscience where she realized she loved learning about science but didn’t want to sit in a lab all day. Now, she snatches any moment she can to sit in the garage and make up stories.

Laura currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her spouse and three sons, who she’s raised to be amazing video game players. She is a Pushcart nominated writer, a graduate of the Viable Paradise workshop, and has been published in Strange Horizons, Vastarien, The Future Fire, [PANK], the Shirley Jackson Award winning anthology, Aseptic and Faintly Sadistic, and others.

Laura is represented by Kurestin Armada at Root Literary.
