About

I enjoy thinking about my next meal and half-following the rules. My Erdős number is 4. Here is a bio you can use for publicity purposes:

Hal Y. Zhang 章皓 writes science, fiction, and science fiction, in no particular order. Her language-and-loss chapbook AMNESIA was published by Newfound and won the Eric Hoffer Micro Press Award, and her women-with-sharp-things collection Goddess Bandit of the Thousand Arms was published by Aqueduct Press. She is online at halyzhang.com.

Here are some other things I’ve done in between bouts of staring off into space:

• Editor, Diabolical Plots, 2023-now
• Guest Editor, Spring 2022 issue of Fireside Magazine
• Panelist, Newfound Anzaldúa Poetry Prize, 2020
• Editorial Staff, Reckoning, 2020-2021
• First Reader, sub-Q, 2019-2020
