Cat Rambo lives, writes, and edits in the Pacific Northwest. Their work has appeared in such places as Asimov's, Weird Tales, and Strange Horizons. They were the fiction editor of award-winning Fantasy Magazine (http://www.fantasy-magazine.com) and appeared on the World Fantasy Award ballot in 2012 for that work. Their story "Five Ways to Fall in Love on Planet Porcelain" was a 2012 Nebula Award finalist.
John Barth described Cat Rambo's writings as "works of urban mythopoeia" -- Rambo's stories take place in a universe where chickens aid the lovelorn, Death is just another face on the train, and Bigfoot gives interviews to the media on a daily basis. Rambo has worked as a programmer-writer for Microsoft and a Tarot card reader, professions which, they claim, both involve a certain combination of technical knowledge and willingness to go with the flow. In 2005 they attended the Clarion West Writers' Workshop.
Rambo has over 250 short stories published and has been shortlisted for the Nebula, Compton Crook, and World Fantasy Award. In 2020, their novelette CARPE GLITTER won the Nebula Award. In 2021, they published fantasy novel EXILES OF TABAT (Wordfire Press) and space opera YOU SEXY THING (Tor Macmillan)
A frequent volunteer with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, they are a former two-term President. They run popular online writing school The Rambo Academy for Wayward Writers.
