Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer Casey Plett (born June 20, 1987) is a Canadian writer, best known for her novel Little Fish, her Lambda Literary Award winning short story collection, A Safe Girl to Love, and her Giller Prize-nominated short story collection, A Dream of a Woman. Plett is a transgender woman, and she often centers this experience in her writing.

Personal life

Plett was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and grew up in a Mennonite family in Morden, Manitoba.[1][2] She attended high school in Eugene, Oregon, and later moved to Portland for college and New York for graduate school.[1] She currently lives in Windsor, Ontario.[3]

Career

Plett previously wrote a regular column about her gender transition for McSweeney's Internet Tendency.[4] She is a book reviewer for the Winnipeg Free Press[4] and has published work in Rookie, Plenitude, The Walrus, and Two Serious Ladies.[5]

In addition to her work as an author she is the co-editor with Cat Fitzpatrick of Meanwhile, Elsewhere: Science Fiction and Fantasy from Transgender Writers, an anthology of speculative fiction from transgender authors from Topside Press.[6] Meanwhile, Elsewhere received a Stonewall Book Award in 2018.[7] She has cited Imogen Binnie, Elena Rose, and Julia Serano as some of her influences.[5]

After garnering a reputation for revolutionising trans women's fiction and achieving a cult-classic status, her 2014 short story collection A Safe Girl to Love was reprinted by Arsenal Pulp Press with a new afterword from the author in 2023.[8]

Her short story collection, A Dream of a Woman, was longlisted for the 2021 Giller Prize.[9] Plett then served on the Giller Prize jury in 2022.[10]
