Katie Silverwings is an award-winning author, illustrator, and stained glass and textile artisan. While originally from Texas, Silverwings is best described as a nomadic creative spirit.
Long fascinated by nature and space, Silverwings’ speculative fiction work centers around notions of optimistic futurism, friendship, found family, and adventurous journeys into the known and unknown. Her characters do most of the driving, and she does her best to keep up and negotiate pleasing stories with them.
Silverwings’ two cats are commonly found staring over her shoulder while she’s writing. The small cloud of dark matter with eyes likes to sit in her lap and interfere with typing, while the calico makes operatic editorial comments from across the room.
Silverwings is best known for her "Strange Space" stories, including Feathered Friendship: A Strange Space Novella. Her novel "Celadon" received the 2024 Richard Wright Literary Award for Best Adult Fantasy/Sci-fi from the Memphis Public Libraries. More information on this optimistic science fiction series can be found on her website.
Silverwings identifies as aromantic, asexual, and genderfae; “she/her”, “they/them”, and “fae/ faer” pronouns are all welcome.
