Nora Decter is a writer and teacher living on Treaty 1 territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her first novel, How Far We Go and How Fast, won the 2019 Kobo Emerging Writer Award.

Her second novel, What's Not Mine, was released in 2024 by ECW Press and was called "wrenching, knowing, and wry" by Meg Wolitzer.
