About Me

Pronouns: she/they

Darija Silic is a Canadian-Croatian author and poet with an Honour Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing and English from Western University. She is most passionate about writing fiction, especially in the science fiction and fantasy genres. Currently, Darija is pursuing an Advanced Diploma in Game Art at Centennial College in Toronto, ON. She hopes to work in game design as a 3D artist, lighting artist, and narrative designer.

Darija describes their work as deeply personal (whether it's apparent to the reader or not) and defines most of it as queer post-humanist fiction. Their work explores themes like climate change, queer identity, and anarchy. Currently, her main writing project is her first novel: a queer post-human cyberpunk novel about environmental collapse, revolution, and love. She expects to be finished the manuscript by the end of 2024 for publication in 2025.

In their spare time, Darija loves to play video and board games, hike, read, draw and sketch, play with her cat, and spend time with friends and beloved partner.
