Yume is an author of speculative fiction represented by Mary C. Moore at Aevitas Creative Management. She's published two books, The Deep Sky and The Stardust Grail (Flatiron Books/Harper Voyager UK) and a third, Saltcrop, is forthcoming in 2025. Her film/tv agent is Addison Duffy at United Talent Agency (UTA).
She is half-Japanese and half-American and grew up in a space between two cultures -- the same space where here stories reside.
She's been writing since she was little, because she was afraid of the dark. (She's still afraid of the dark.)
She graduated from Stuyvesant High School and Princeton University and lives in Brooklyn with two cats, Boondoggle and Filibuster.
