While being rained on near Portland, Oregon, Monte Lin edits, writes, and plays tabletop roleplaying games and writes short stories. Clarion West got him to write about dying universes, edible sins, dreaming mountains, and singularities made of anxieties. His stories have been published at Cossmass Infinities, Cast of Wonders, Flame Tree Press anthologies, and others. His Ignyte-nominated nonfiction has been published at Strange Horizons. He is also Managing Editor of Uncanny Magazine. He can be found posting Doctor Who news, Asian American diaspora discourse, and his board game losses on BlueSky @montelin.bsky.social.
