Chana Porter is a novelist and playwright whose fiction sits at the intersection of literary and speculative writing. Her debut novel The Seep (2020) imagines a world transformed by contact with an alien entity that grants humans the ability to reshape their bodies and minds, raising questions about grief and identity when almost anything is possible.

Her second novel, The Thick and the Lean (2023), takes a different approach, building a world where attitudes toward food and the body have been rigidly codified. Porter also edited the anthology Peach Pit: Sixteen Stories of Unsavory Women (2023). Beyond her fiction, she co-founded the Octavia Project, a program for young people inspired by Octavia Butler’s work.
