Moniquill Blackgoose

Moniquill Blackgoose is an Indigenous author and member of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe. She writes speculative fiction that centers Indigenous perspectives and challenges colonial narratives. Her debut novel, "To Shape a Dragon's Breath," published in 2023, reimagines dragon-riding fantasy through an Indigenous lens, following a young Algonquian woman who bonds with a dragon and must navigate a colonial academy. Blackgoose draws on her heritage and experiences to craft stories that celebrate Indigenous cultures while exploring themes of resistance, identity, and self-determination. She lives in southeastern Massachusetts with her family.
