AJ Super
Speaker
AJ Super is a queer, disabled, neurodiverse author trying their best to write normative science fiction and fantasy worlds. Their belief in an inclusive community is reflected in their writing, as they attempt to write the world that they want to see—where LGBTQIA+ are accepted, disability is accommodated, and diversity is celebrated.
They debuted in 2021 with first in a trilogy, Erebus Dawning, and followed it with sequels A Star Reborn and Queen of the Black. Their newest title, Aria Unsung, is forthcoming in Spring of 2027.
With two Bachelors’ degrees from the University of Idaho in English (Creative Writing) and Theater (Stage Management and Directing), AJ is a member of Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers (BSFW), the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Association (SFWA), and Authors Against Book Bans (AABB). They also run a newsletter collective called Swordfights and Spaceflights.
AJ has spoken on panels at the Nebulas, ECCC, Flights of Foundry, WisCon, and WriteHive conferences on topics from burnout and self-care for creatives to gender in speculative fiction to creating a newsletter to co-leading a roundtable on book bans and challenges. They live in the picturesque Sawtooth Mountains with their spouse and three fuzz-brained feline overlords while trying to support an obsession for many pairs of slippers and fuzzy socks.
