NOÉMI KISS-DEÁKI was born in Finland and lives on the Åland Islands – a devolved and autonomous region of Finland with its own laws and a population of 30,000. Noémi speaks Hungarian, Swedish and English but writes all of her fiction in English. She has an academic background in art history and the history of science and ideas. She works as a medical secretary in the day, and writes fiction in the evenings. Her short story ‘The Revenge’ is set to appear in the forthcoming anthology Stories of Rebellion in January 2024 (published by The Selkie).

In July 2024 Galley Beggar Press will publish Noémi’s first novel, Mary and the Rabbit Dream.
