Aigner Loren Wilson is an Ignyte Award nominated writer for her speculative fiction[1] and nonfiction writing[2] and Hugo Award winning editor for her work as senior fiction editor for Strange Horizons from 2021 to 2025[3]. Her work has been called, "profoundly disturbing and ethereal."[4] She is from coastal New Jersey but currently lives in the Pacific Northwest.[5]

Writing career

[edit]

Wilson began her professional speculative fiction writing career in 2018 with a published flash fiction in the literary speculative fiction podcast Nightlight: A Black Horror Podcast. After several subsequent poetry sales, Wilson made first professional SF prose sale in 2022 to Lightspeed (magazine),[6] a magazine for which she went on to write monthly speculative fiction book reviews focusing on diverse books and authors.[7] Other professional outlets in which her fiction has appeared include The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Interzone (magazine), and FIYAH Literary Magazine. Her writing frequently incorporates humor even in works that are dark and serious in subject.[8]

Wilson's speculative fiction editing career began in 2015 when she joined Strange Horizons and Nightlight: A Black Horror Podcast as a first reader and associate editor. She began her senior fiction editing in 2021 with guest editing positions for Apparition Literary Magazine[8] and Fireside Fiction. Wilson served as senior fiction editor for Strange Horizons[7] from 2021 to 2025. In 2024, she self-published a serialized novella, Twilight Children, through her newsletter, Writing Skins.

Along with her speculative fiction and poetry writing, Wilson publishes nonfiction in prominent outlets such as Wired (magazine), The Washington Post, and Reactor (magazine) (formerly TOR).[9] She began writing nonfiction in 2019 for local publications in her area, Thurstontalk[10] and Olyarts[11], covering topics related to arts, literature, and community events. From 2020 to 2022, Wilson wrote podcast reviews and interviews with podcasters for Discover Pods[12], including her monthly review roundup series Radio at the End of the World. Combining her work as a prolific editor and writer, Wilson began writing craft articles in 2021 for Writer's Digest, The Writer Magazine, and other publications. She also wrote for the Tor Nightfire blog doing reviews of horror short fiction and poetry in 2022.

Personal life

[edit]

Wilson enjoys hiking, books, games, and bread bakes. She lives with an unspecified number of partners and pets.[7] She is a fan of vampires,[13] but identifies more strongly with werewolves.[8]
