Tina Zhu writes stories and edits WYRMHOLE, the terminally online speculative fiction newsletter and magazine. Folktales, pop culture, and Gothic vibes all give her unfortunate levels of brainrot. Her work has appeared in many places, including Reactor Magazine, The Cincinnati Review, Lightspeed, Best Small Fictions, and The Crawling Moon: Queer Tales of Inescapable Dread (Neon Hemlock Press, 2024), a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Anthology. She is an Assistant Fiction Editor at Split Lip Magazine and an occasional book reviewer for Hugo-winning speculative fiction magazine Strange Horizons. Her work has received support from Lambda Literary and the Clarion Writers’ Workshop. She is represented by Nicole Cunningham at Trellis Literary Management.

Her newsletter, with reading updates and occasional writing ones, is here.
