Eliza Chan is a Scottish-born fantasy author who writes about East Asian mythology, British folklore and madwomen in the attic, but preferably all three at once. Her short fiction has been published in The Dark, Podcastle, Fantasy Magazine and The Best of British Fantasy. 

Her debut novel FATHOMFOLK is inspired by mythology, folklore, ESEAN cities and diaspora feels. It will be published by Orbit in Spring 2024 with the sequel to follow. 

In her free time, Eliza can be found tabletop gaming, cosplaying, crafting and toddler wrangling. She lives in Manchester with her family and a sizeable collection of dragons, Totoros and weapons (but only if you count an inflatable cutlass and plushie swords).
