Cait      Yaga

Cait Yaga spent the first twelve years of her life in the forests of North Vancouver before moving to rural Saskatchewan and finally landing in Edmonton at age sixteen, where she lives to this day. Yaga is completing her undergraduate degree in communication studies and hopes to go on to a master's program in rhetoric. In addition to writing books and volunteering in the Alberta publishing industry, she spends her time scouring her property for bones, feathers, stones, and other oddities, napping in the sunshine with her cat, Sushi, or pondering the meaning of everything and nothing, usually at the same time.

​

Cait Yaga is the author of three novels. Her short stories and poetry have been published in several anthologies and collections, including Hungry Zine (Issue 09), Beyond the Concert Hall: An Anthology of Sound, War of the Words Volume II, The Bolo Tie Collective Volumes IX and X, and FOE Lit Mag. As an advocate of literacy, she has presented on the topic at several book launches and conferences and hopes to present at many more.

​

Yaga hopes that her writing gives her readers an escape and, hopefully, makes them pause and reflect on some aspect of their life. And as someone who loves a good brain puzzle, she hopes her readers find the easter eggs she has sprinkled through her work and yearns for the day someone asks her about them.

​

Yaga writes fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, horror, thrillers, contemporary fiction, and non-fiction. She is currently working on her fourth novel and can be followed on Instagram @caityaga. You can purchase her publications here.

(She is also adamantly anti-AI. Artists struggle enough already without generative AI replacing them, too.)
