CAMERON VAN SANT
Writer of Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy
Cameron Van Sant writes short fiction where the fantastic, the bizarre, and the ordinary collide. His stories prominently feature trans and queer characters who embark on the kinds of adventures straight and cis people have enjoyed for decades.
His fiction has been published in Clarkesworld Magazine, Lightspeed Magazine, Rosalind's Siblings, two Queer Pack anthologies, and Capricious Magazine: The Gender Diverse Pronouns Issue, an anthology that was selected for the 2018 Otherwise Honor List. He has also written non-fiction about transgender issues for INTO Magazine and You&Me Magazine.
