ABOUT MJ HUNTSGOOD
MJ Huntsgood writes the weird, the dark, and the uncanny. She’s queer, messy, and unafraid to drag horror into the everyday. Once homeless, she survived on couches, air mattresses, and sheer stubbornness. She then spent years in monoclonal antibody manufacturing on night shifts, clawed her way through a master’s degree, and bought her own home. Somewhere in there, she became a writer.
Her work blends dark humor, body horror, and sharp emotional insight. It often features deep first-person POV and morally complex, villain-leaning protagonists who refuse to die easily. Her speculative writing, poetry, and nonfiction has appeared for adults in presses such as Timber Ghost Press, Moss Puppy Magazine, The Hooghly Review and with Macmillan Children’s Press for young adults. She has also been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.
She lives in an unreasonably haunted townhome in Washington DC with her single surviving air plant, 2 cats, and trophy husband.
She is represented by Morgan Wilson of Belcastro Literary.
