Author Description

Cait Gordon is an autistic, disabled, and queer Canadian writer of works that celebrate diverse bodyminds. Originally from Verdun, Québec, Cait worked for over two decades as a technical writer before channelling her love of words into storytelling. She authored the award-winning, disability-hopepunk adventure, Season One: Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space! Her short stories featuring disabled and/or neurodivergent heroes have appeared in several anthologies and in her award-nominated collection, Speculative Shorts: Stories that fell out of my brain. One of Cait’s stories, “The Hilltop Gathering” from We Shall Be Monsters (edited by Derek Newman-Stille), stars a disabled teenage monster and was discussed at a Frankenstein-themed literary symposium at Carleton University. Cait’s desire for disability representation in fiction and CanLit prompted her to co-edit Nothing Without Us and Nothing Without Us Too with Talia C. Johnson. These multi-genre anthologies feature authors and protagonists who are disabled, d/Deaf, Blind, neurodivergent, Spoonie, and/or who manage mental illness. Nothing Without Us was part of a disability studies course at Trent University and earned a 2020 Prix Aurora Award nomination. Nothing Without Us Too won a Prix Aurora Award in 2023. Cait also hosts The Disabled Crone podcast. Even though her works intentionally educate about identity and human/alien/monster rights, Cait feels humour is essential in world-building. “Without humour, it doesn’t feel realistic.” She lives in Ottawa with her husband, Canadian author Bruce D. Gordon, and is fun, feisty, and really loves cake.
