Simon Jimenez is a Filipino-American author with an MFA from Emerson College. His debut, The Vanished Birds (2020), is a science fiction novel that follows a spaceship captain, a mysterious mute boy, and an engineer across a thousand years. It was nominated for the Locus Award and praised for its emotional weight.

His second novel, The Spear Cuts Through Water (2022), is a fantasy about two men escorting a dying goddess across a war-torn land.

Both books share Jimenez’s interest in connection, belonging, and what people owe each other.
