T. L. Wood is a double award-winning Deaf / disabled author, essayist, artist and poet from Aotearoa New Zealand. They write weird, unsettling, speculative fiction and quiet horror, while their art mixes elements of the natural world with the supernatural.
A former English teacher and school library manager, their first published books were nonfiction guides for professional educators. They now tutor from home while also working as a freelance editor and illustrator.
They like strong coffee, soft cats, and spending time by the sea.
