Nadine Tomlinson is an emerging Jamaican writer of Afro-Caribbean speculative fiction and poetry. Her short stories and poems have been featured on/published in Black Women Are Scary, Earth in Color, Lightspeed Magazine, Grist, and other places. She is keen on writing fiction and creative non-fiction pieces with themes that center and explore matrilineal relationships; Black women’s knowledge practices; and folklore, folk traditions, and eco-spirituality of the African Diaspora in Jamaican culture.
