hey there!

jem zero is an autistic, disabled transmasc. they live with their wife, mum, and sibling, in a sturdy house built by their great-grandfather.

aside from writing, jem has an associate’s degree in art foundation, is (almost) an accounting technician, and has professional experience with acting and photography. they take commissions for digital portraiture.

in both art and writing, jem’s work centers experiences often considered unacceptable and unmarketable, including themes about LGBTQ+ culture and experiences; physical and neurological disability; class intersections; and sex worker’s rights. they incorporate these narratives with science fiction/fantasy, using fantastical elements to create metaphors for real-world struggles.

jem has a passion for erotic content, and considers access to sexual aids an important component to a sexually healthy society. much of their work has explicit or mature elements.

A SPARK IN HIS HAND, a full length science fiction romance published by City Owl Press, will be coming out on June 4th, 2024. add it on goodreads!

jem’s scifi erotic flashfic, A STUDY IN CIRCUITS AND CHARCOAL, won for Best Feminist Sex in the Good Sex Awards. the piece was originally published in Erato, an anthology by The New Smut Project.
