Celia Neri was born in 1978 on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in a multicultural family. They studied Comparative Literature in Paris before coming back to Southern France where they now live.
A lifelong science-fiction and fantasy reader, they realised late in life they also had stories to tell and started creative writing, often with an emphasis on characters who reflect aspects of their own identity.

Their short stories have been published in Apex Magazine, Three Crows Magazine, and The Café Irreal, among others. They also review SFF TV shows for the British Fantasy Society blog since July 2023.

Celia is a member of the British Fantasy Society and is represented by John Jarrold at JJLA.
