JY Yang is a Singaporean writer whose fiction draws on Southeast Asian settings and non-Western magical systems. Their breakout work, the Tensorate series, began in 2017 with two novellas published simultaneously: The Black Tides of Heaven and The Red Threads of Fortune. The series is set in a world where power flows through forces called the Slack, and the stories follow characters caught in political and personal conflicts shaped by that magic.
Outside of Tensorate, Yang has published standalone fiction and contributed stories to anthologies including We See a Different Frontier, The Djinn Falls in Love, and Silk & Steel. Their shorter work often explores identity, transformation, and the borders between the human and the strange.
