Biography

Carolyn Charron is a speculative fiction writer who has always wanted to be a pirate or a wizard, preferably with a dragon companion. Her short stories have appeared in Renaissance Press' "Nothing Without Us" anthology of disabled writers which was nominated for a 2020 Prix Aurora award and in three of Flame Tree Publishing's Gothic Fantasy anthologies among others. On the editor's side of her desk, she read slush for Apex and Lightspeed Magazines and has been a juror for Speculative Literature Foundation grants. She was fortunate to receive Recommender Grants from Ontario Arts Council (OAC) for her debut novel and other unpublished works as well as a Toronto Arts Council grant. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two adult children and is still hoping for a pet dragon one day.
