Author Description Rhonda Parrish has the attention span of a magpie. Not only can she not focus on a single project at a time, but she also fails at sticking to one genre or even one type of writing (she does manage to stay true to one hockey team, though – Let’s go Oilers!). Perhaps best known for her work as an anthology editor – the Ottawa Review of Books called her “Canada’s best-known and most prolific speculative fiction anthologist” – Rhonda also works as a short story writer, novelist, game writer and a poet. <br /><br />She has been honoured to be included in a handful of ‘Best of’ anthologies, earn a coveted starred review from Publisher’s Weekly and be shortlisted for several awards including the Rhysling Award, the Aurora Award, the Dwarf Stars Award, Next Generation Indie Book Awards and Alberta Book Publishing Awards. <br /><br />In 2025 she was the Edmonton Public Library's Writer in Residence and in 2026 her novel Silversong won the CANREADS award for best fantasy novel.<br /><br />In an effort to impose some order in her chaos, most of her short fiction and poetry is published directly through her Patreon (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/RhondaParrish">https://www.patreon.com/RhondaParrish</a>). More information about her, updates and calls for submission are posted on her website <a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.rhondaparrish.com/home/">http://www.rhondaparrish.com/home/</a>.
