Grace Curtis, science fiction author (Frontier, Floating Hotel).

My guest today is Grace Curtis, a video game critic and one of the most exciting new voices in science fiction writing. Born in Newcastle-on-Tyne, she graduated from the UEA with a degree in English Literature with Creative Writing in 2019. Since then, she has worked as a freelance critic, contributing to Edge magazine and Eurogamer, and with the game publisher Future Friends, part of the team that helped bring you indie hits such as Vampire Survivors, Cloud Gardens and Heaven’s Vault.


In 2023 she published her debut novel Frontier, a sci fi western set in the distant future when climate change has returned the Earth to a desert wasteland ruled over by gunslingers and horse thieves. Frontier is a tale of love, loss and laser guns. She is currently working on a second book for Hodder & Stoughton, Floating Hotel, described as ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel in Space’.
