Sarah Pauling sends other people to distant places for a living as a study abroad advisor in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her work has previously been published in Strange Horizons magazine and she was recently shortlisted for the James White Award for new writers. She once wrote a transmedia romcom about orcs going to college, but the green body paint dried out her skin terribly. If approached without sudden movement, she can be found on Twitter: @_paulings.
