Will Tell Stories For Food
Naomi Kritzer's blog
I am a science fiction and fantasy writer living in St. Paul, Minnesota. I’ve been writing science fiction and fantasy since I was a teenager (which was a long time ago now).
My fiction has won a bunch of awards. (Not shown here: the Minnesota Book Award, because that’s a beautiful little glass sphere that needs to be stored somewhere the cats can’t get to it.)
My next book, OBSTETRIX, is a novella coming out from Tor’s novella line in June 2026. (If you’re reading this in 2028, well, I’m currently updating stuff I wrote in 2020. Maybe I will update again before 2030 but don’t count on it.)
I also write about politics (mainly elections) in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The main thing I do is to write an election guide with an in-depth guide to the candidates in local races, especially races that tend to not get a lot of coverage. I have been doing this since 2006 — I started out just typing up my ballot research into my LiveJournal so that my local friends could benefit from my Googling, and they passed along the link to friends and neighbors, and now thousands of people check out one or more of my posts each year. I write this guide as a hobby and as a form of public service. I don’t have a Patreon (at least, not at the moment) but I usually run a fundraiser each year.
