Kaya Wilson is a writer and tsunami scientist who somehow finds himself in Canberra. His first book As Beautiful As Any Other won the 2019 Varuna Fellowship, was listed by the Guardian as 1 of the 25 best books of 2021, and was shortlisted for ACT Book of the year.

He is currently working on a novel, best described as a deeply queer summer read for young adults coming of age in the climate crisis.
