On an isolated Cumbrian peninsula in the year 1996, a child was born who would go on to change the world. At the same time, in a room across the hall, Demetria Paxton was being unceremoniously extracted with a pair of forceps. ​​​​​​​

​

Decades later, she achieved a BA in Mandarin Chinese, an MA in Global Governance and Diplomacy, and was even accepted onto a PhD in International Relations. But it's to reading and writing weird, angsty fantasy novels that she's returned time and time again - and where she is now directing her focus. 

​

Demetria now formally identifies as a writer above all else. Her short fiction has been published by Longshot Island, Grindstone Literary, and Silly Goose Press, with long-form novels upcoming.
