Inez Ray
Inez Ray is a Puget Sound based, California-born Science Fiction writer. She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Creative Writing from San Francisco State then went on to bartend for several years before meeting her beloved partner and becoming a parent. Experiencing the horrific state of perinatal care in America drew her to birth work and reproductive rights advocacy and then eventually back to writing. She is a member of BARN Writer’s Studio, and an editor for their Annual Collection. She is a founding member of Content Hospital, a rowdy critique group of speculative fiction writers. Her stories are populated by characters that aren’t always heroes, often reckoning with systems of power and control, that mirror our own world. When she is not inviting readers to think acutely about the future of humanity, she is parenting her three children, or throwing a stick for her two dogs. Her debut novel, a feminist dystopian sci-fi, comes out fall 2026 with Left Unread and Bindery Books. She is represented by Brenna English-Loeb at Transatlantic Agency. Connect with her and her writing at Inezray.com.
