Duane Horton is a black queer fantasy writer who resides in the bay. He believes in writing his intersection of identity into his fantasy stories, so that people from his intersection can see themselves represented in the fantasy genre. Duane has previously been published with Green Mountains Review, Sapphire Hues Press, and Free Spirit Literature Magazine and is currently working on a novel. He graduated with his degree in creative writing from Mills College in 2019. Duane uses his studying of feminist theory to create stories that align with those values. Values that have the power to break down oppressive structures.
