About Alison Tracy

I tell stories that hold a funhouse mirror up to our world.

I believe fantasy and science fiction can reveal fundamental truths about our social world. With a PhD in sociology and a BA in English, I use fantastical and mythical stories to reveal the often-hidden cultural ideologies and inequalities that chain us.

Some of my stories are fairy tale romances with a feminist twist. Others are dystopias that challenge assumptions about free will and divine forces. In all my stories, I use fiction to reflect new insights about our own world.

In addition to fiction writing and sociology research, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, watching sappy rom-coms from around the globe, and eating high-quality dark chocolate.
