Taliesin is a queer author who grew up bouncing around Europe and the US and currently calls Chicago home. They’ve been writing stories since they had to pester their mom to help them transcribe their words on the family desktop computer. They work as a stage manager and dog walker, and hold a Master’s degree in Humanities, with a focus in literature. No amount of school or chaotic array of part-time jobs has yet managed to stop them from reading and writing voraciously. They can also occasionally be found doing calligraphy, baking, or getting really excited about Shakespeare. They have previously contributed stories to the anthologies Many Hands and A Truth Universally Acknowledged, also from Duck Prints Press.
