About

Alice Gauntley (she/her) is a writer caught between hope and despair. She is the winner of the 2023 Toronto Star Short Story Contest, and her short stories have previously appeared in Dread Machine, Drabblecast, and Best Canadian Stories 2021, among other publications.

She lives with a wonderful partner and a terrible cat in Toronto, Canada, on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, the Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. She dreams of the day when she’s swept off her feet by her evil doppelganger from a parallel universe. Find her on Twitter @alicegwrites.
