Naseem is a queer, nonbinary, Persian, trans, Chicagoan, writer, neuroscientist, baker, nerd, gamer.Born to Iranian immigrants, I was raised in the North Side of Chicago, which I still call home even though I no longer live there. My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, The Rumpus, The Writer's Chronicle, and other venues. I was the 2018 Bitch Media Fellow in Technology, a 2019 Lambda Literary Fellow in Young Adult Fiction, and a 2022 Otherwise Fellow, and was named the inaugural Samuel R. Delany Fellow. My debut novella, The Bruising of Qilwa, was released by Tachyon Publications in 2022 to critical praise.&nbsp;My favorite personal essays that I've written are for <a href="https://therumpus.net/author/naseem-jamnia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Rumpus</a>. I'm also proud of what I produced for <a href="https://www.bitchmedia.org/profile/naseem-jamnia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bitch Media</a> while they were still around.
