Rae D. Magdon is an author of queer speculative fiction. She believes everyone deserves to see themselves represented in the stories they read, especially lesbians, bisexual women, queer women, trans women, and nonbinary folks. This especially includes women of color.

She has published over 10 novels through Desert Palm Press. Her cyberpunk novel, Lucky 7, received a Golden Crown Literary Award for Sci-Fi/Fantasy (2019) as well as a Rainbow Award for Science Fiction (2019). Starless Nights, her 2017 space opera with co-author Michelle Magly, also received a Rainbow Award.

In an effort to make her writing more accessible, Rae has published over 350 works of free fanfiction on Archive Of Our Own.
