Alex Stronach

Kaiwhakahaere Tūhononga | Communications Manager

Alex Stronach (Kāi Tahu, Kāti Huirapa ki Puketeraki) is a writer, editor, and cryptid based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, and current Kaiwhakahaere Tūhononga at The Pantograph Punch. Her wingspan is thought to exceed two metres. It is unclear how she escaped the South Island, but investigations are ongoing. Look, she's a neurodivergent trans woman who owns cat ears and likes Paradox games, you know the type: hobbies include queer issues and activism, SF/F, gaming, poems that bloom like a lotus on subsequent reads. Keen to make sure upcoming artists from all over the motu get their names written in the stars. You may know her from The Spinoff, The Herald, or because she's That Girl From Twitter. Her debut novel The Dawnhounds was released by Saga Press in 2022.
