Daniela A. Wolfe is a queer fantasy and science-fiction author who writes stories about finding strength in identity, often while one of her characters is launching a revolution with magic. Her worlds are shaped by magic, machinery, and personal upheaval, and her work centers transgender and LGBTQ+ characters. She believes queer stories should be loud, a little unhinged, and full of sword fights and feelings.
She grew up obsessed with epic fantasy and science fiction, and it was The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks that first made her want to write her own. As a kid, she was awkward, full of feelings she did not understand, and convinced those feelings were freakish and unnatural. Now she writes so that others can see themselves in fantastical worlds and realize they were never alone.
Outside of fiction, Daniela has been deeply involved in local queer activism. She began as Social Media Director for Davis County Pride, eventually serving as Vice Chair and a board member. During that time, she helped organize the county’s first Pride festival and led its first-ever Pride march. She now heads the Trans Pride and Joy Committee, working to build community and celebrate trans joy in a place not always known for it.
Settle in. There will be magic, there will be trouble, and there will be no apologies.
