My Brilliant Friend

Chimedum Ohaegbu resides in Moh’kinstsis, colonially known as Calgary, Alberta. She is a three-time Hugo Award winner, and Room Magazine‘s managing editor. She’s a 2021 graduate of UBC’s Creative Writing Program (Bachelor of Fine Arts) and, as a playwright, the 2021 Black Arts Development Program. She loves insect facts, the theatre and stageplays, birds and magpies especially, and orchestral videogame music. Her work can be found in Strange Horizons, Arc Poetry Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, the Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror, Vol.3, and As the Earth Dreams: Black Canadian Speculative Stories, among others. She has been supported by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Canada Council for the Arts to work on her first novel, about co-victims of divine disregard, the loneliness of liars, and the captivity created by circles and experienced by echoes.
