ⓘ About Arkady Martine
Author Arkady Martine grew up in New York City and spent some time in Canada, Turkey, and Sweden. She went five years without having a fixed address, and grew to like it after a while. During this time in her life, she lived in seven cities in four countries, and she was a non-tenured research-focused academic. New York City is a place that she has always been madly in love with, and for her, the jagged clutch of steel and light is home for her. She wrote her PhD dissertation about this very thing, although she did not realize it at the time. It was about Byzantine diplomats who lived on the frontier and would write letters back home to their colleagues and friends in Constantinople. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Teixcalaan Books series, Arkady Martine has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
