about

Deborah Kalin

A master of worldbuilding and characterisation.

Kalin writes literary speculative fiction centring the stories of women; the psychology of community and otherness is a recurring theme.

Her writing has variously been described as honest, relentless, “storytelling like a force of nature” (ASIM), and “endlessly surprising and wonderfully disturbing” (Aurealis Magazine).
