M. H. Ayinde was born in London’s East End. She is a runner, a lapsed martial artist, and a screen time enthusiast. She is the Sunday Times bestselling author of epic fantasy novel A SONG OF LEGENDS LOST (Orbit UK/Saga Press). Her short fiction has appeared in FIYAH Literary Magazine, F&SF, Fantasy Magazine, and elsewhere, and she was the 2021 winner of the Future Worlds Prize. She lives in London with three generations of her family and their Studio Ghibli obsession.

We had great fun chatting with Modupe live at the Cymera Festival back in June, and heard all about her amazing journey to winning the Future Worlds Prize and how that kickstarted her career as an author. Plus, we talk about her inspirations including Black Panther and A LOT of Final Fantasy!
