About

Jordan M. Griffin is a speculative fiction author, fiction editor, and host of The Write Turn podcast. She earned her MFA in Fiction from Pacific University, where she headed workshops and worked as the Director of Publicity for the Northwest Review. She is currently the writer-in-residence for the Nocturne Quill Society, a monthly mail club featuring original short fiction as well as art, recipes, bookish DIY projects, and more. She writes stories about dangerous power, moral consequence, and broken people trying to survive the systems that shape them.

Her short fiction has appeared in Night Picnic Press, Door is a Jar Magazine, Livina Press, and elsewhere. She was shortlisted for the 2022 Lascaux Flash Fiction Contest and longlisted for the 2021 Novel Slices Summer Contest.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Jordan is committed to expanding the emotional and moral range of speculative fiction. Whether she’s building intricate magic systems or dissecting narrative structure on her podcast, she finds herself returning to one question: what does power cost the people brave enough to seize it for themselves?
