Bio

Anders was born near Storrs, Connecticut[10] and grew up in nearby Mansfield.[11] She studied English and Asian Literature at the University of Cambridge,[12] and studied in China[10][11] before moving to San Francisco in the early 2000s.[10] Anders co-founded Other magazine, the "magazine of pop culture and politics for the new outcasts", with Annalee Newitz, and served as publisher during the magazine's run from 2002 to 2007.[13] In 2006, she was a co-founding editor of the science fiction blog io9,[1] a position she left in April 2016 to focus on novel writing.[14]

Career

Anders has had science fiction published in Tor.com, Strange Horizons, and Flurb. Additional (non-science-fiction) literary work has been published in McSweeney's and Zyzzyva. Anders's work has appeared in Salon,[15] The Wall Street Journal,[16] Publishers Weekly,[17] San Francisco Bay Guardian,[18] Mother Jones,[19] and the San Francisco Chronicle.[20] She has had stories and essays in anthologies such as Sex For America: Politically Inspired Erotica,[21] The McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes,[22] and That's Revolting!: Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation.[23]

Her first novel, Choir Boy, appeared in 2005 from Soft Skull Press; a young adult story about a boy transitioning gender in order to sing. In 2014, Tor Books acquired two novels from Anders,[24] All the Birds in the Sky, which appeared in 2016, and The City in the Middle of the Night, appearing in 2019.[25] Tor Teen acquired a young adult trilogy from Anders in 2017;[26] the first novel, Victories Greater than Death, appeared in 2021, and the second, Dreams Bigger than Heartbreak, in 2022.

In addition to her work as an author and publisher, Anders is also a longtime event organizer. She organized a "ballerina pie fight" in 2005 for Other magazine;[27] co-organized the Cross-Gender Caravan, a national transgender and genderqueer author tour;[28] and a Bookstore and Chocolate Crawl in San Francisco.[29] She emcees " Writers with Drinks", an award-winning San Francisco-based monthly reading series begun in 2001 that features authors from a wide range of genres[30] and has been noted for its "free-associative author introductions."[31]

She has been a juror for the James Tiptree Jr. Award and for the Lambda Literary Award. She formerly published the satirical website godhatesfigs.com[32] which was featured by the Sunday Times as website of the week.[33]

A television adaptation of Anders' Six Months, Three Days was being prepared for NBC in 2013, with the script written by Eric Garcia.[34]

In March 2018,[35] with her partner and co-host Annalee Newitz, Anders launched the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct, which “explor[es] the meaning of science fiction, and how it’s relevant to real-life science and society.”[36] The podcast won the Hugo Award for Best Fancast in 2019.[37]
