Mikhaeyla Kopievsky is an Australian speculative fiction author. She is the author of the Divided Elements series and an upcoming gothic novel set in Tasmania. She was longlisted for the 2019 EJ Brady Short Story Competition for her piece, Grasshopper, and her debut novel, Resistance, is currently a semi-finalist in Hugh Howey’s inaugural SPSF Competition.

Mikhaeyla is an administrator of the Australian Speculative Fiction facebook page and a developmental editor with their Deadset Press imprint.

When she is not writing or reading, Mikhaeyla enjoys cooking with the produce harvested from her kitchen garden, going to the beach, stargazing, and training to be a ninja.
