Mizuki is a writer from Japan, currently living in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with her half moon and two very spoiled farm dogs. In the past, she’s lived on both U.S. coasts, a few places in-between, South Africa, and London. The places she’s been often inform her imagination and ways of thinking.

Mizuki’s writing has appeared in or is forthcoming at SmokeLong Quarterly, Flash Frog, HAD, The Forge Literary, hex, Lost Balloon, Does It Have Pockets and other places. She was the winner of The SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction 2025 and was shortlisted for the 31st Bath Flash Fiction Award. Her work has been nominated for Best of the Net and Best MicroFiction.

During the day Mizuki works on climate action. In her spare time, she worries about climate collapse. In her writing, she explores humanity on the brink, or simply people in strange places and strange times.
