Dawn Chen

is a sapphic fantasy and horror author who grew up in Beijing, China. When she was thirteen, she moved to Germany to live with her family. Since then, she has both lived in Canada and UK. She writes in both Chinese and English, wishing nothing more than to keep writing, and has a perfectly healthy obsession with ghosts. She's the author of the Chinese queer diaspora horror short story collection Dawn's Cozy Horror Corner, the Chinese-inspired anti-British colonial sapphic fantasy The Witch Who Chases the Sun (Contrarian Publishing, October 2025), and the upcoming sapphic vampire epistolary horror novel A Vampire in Beijing (Graveside Press, January 2026).
