Mikhaeyla Kopievsky is an Australian speculative fiction author. She is the author of the Divided Elements series and Tasmanian Gothic, both of which were semi-finalists in Hugh Howey’s SPSF Competition. Her short stories have been shortlisted for the 2024 Aurealis Awards, longlisted for the 2024 Commonwealth Short Story Prize and 2019 EJ Brady Short Story Competition, and published in Unchartered, Etherea Magazine, and indie anthologies.

Born in Sydney, Mikhaeyla now lives in the Hunter Valley with her husband, son, two rescue dogs, four Australorp chooks, a hive of cantankerous bees, and the occasional herd of beautiful Black Angus steers.

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.
