About

Headshot of author A.R. Frederiksen
AR Frederiksen is a Danish author who chose to write in English at the age of fourteen and never looked back. Represented by Arianna Siddiqui from FinePrint Literary Management, Frederiksen writes speculative fiction and works as a creative writing instructor for South Gate Creative Writing School in Denmark. Her English fiction is heavily influenced by the genre-blending of Danish storytelling traditions.

Her short fiction can be found in Haven Speculative Magazine, Factor Four Magazine, Shortwave Magazine, Cosmic Horror Monthly and in various print anthologies. She has featured on the official Nebula Reading List. When not writing her own short fiction, she is a first reader for Diabolical Plots, Small Wonders Magazine and Khōréō Magazine.

Together with her Minnesotan husband and fourteen-year-old chihuahua, she lives in northern Denmark where the North Sea clashes with the Baltic Sea amid the spray of seafoam and old wartime bunkers.

She can be found anywhere online as @ARFrederiksen.
