Astraea Long is a young adult author from Boston, Massachusetts. She's lived in the states of Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas, as well as four years spent in school in Sichuan, China. She currently studies astrophysics in college, and she's taking up new language sequences such as Italian and German, rather than focusing on a minor.​

She is an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy, and her future works will include a variety of urban fantasy, dark academia, and queer themes. As an aromantic asexual, she intends to focus on sibling and platonic relationships in her writing, and to challenge the popular trends of sex and romance.​

Outside of writing and reading, she's a devoted dancer who previously trained as a pre-professional and now spends many late nights choreographing for her college dance groups. Her other hobbies include painting, scrolling through Asian streetwear fashion websites, watching cooking videos of things she probably can't make, and spending too much money on boba.
