About Ramez

Born in Egypt, Ramez Yoakeim spent the bulk of his life between Australia where he grew up, and the United States where his husband originates.

A one-time engineer and educator, he writes mostly about outsiders finding hope in direful circumstances, including Rise Again and More Than Trinkets, both selected for Reactor’s Must-Read Speculative Short Fiction.

You’ll find more of his stories in Flame Tree Press and Erewhon Books anthologies, podcasts from Cast of Wonders and StarShipSofa, and in zines including Baffling, Heartlines Spec, Translunar Travelers Lounge, UtopiaSF, and others. Check out the bibliography for a full list.
