Sim Kern is a Gulf Coast author and environmental journalist writing about climate change, queer identity, and social justice. Their debut horror novella, Depart, Depart!, was selected for the Honor List for the 2020 Otherwise Award. Their short story collection, Real Sugar is Hard to Find, was hailed in a starred review by Publishers Weekly as, “a searing, urgent, but still achingly tender work that will wow any reader of speculative fiction.” As a journalist, they report on petrochemical polluters and drag space billionaires. 2023 will see publication of their YA debut, Seeds for the Swarm, and their alternate-timeline, abolitionist punk rock scifi novel, The Free People's Village. Sim spent ten years teaching English to middle and high schoolers in Houston. Following the birth of their kid, they began pursuing a career in writing full-time. They live near Brays Bayou with their husband, two kids, and a very good dog.
