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 is the Grand Prize winner of The SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction 2025. Her writing has appeared in SmokeLong Quarterly, The Citron Review, HAD, Flash Flood, Five on the Fifth, and is forthcoming in Flash Frog, Does It Have Pockets, Your Impossible Voice, and other places.

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.
