AnaMaria Curtis

AnaMaria Curtis is from the part of Illinois that is very much not Chicago, which means she still gets nostalgic at the sight of cornfields and an open sky. She double majored in English Lit and Economics, so she's always ready to ramble about Jane Austen, Anthony Trollope, and international patent rights. AnaMaria has written stories about musical robots fighting agricultural debt monopolists, a family apology tallied in limbs, and a planet with berries that bite back. Her work tends to feature food and family, love and longing, and the loss that comes from having a multiplicity of homes.

AnaMaria's story "Military Sunset" won the 2019 Dell Award. She is a graduate of the Alpha Workshop, and her work has appeared in or is forthcoming from various anthologies and magazines, including Clarkesworld, Fireside Fiction, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and Uncanny.
