Naomi Pond is a homeschooled high schooler from Irvine, California. When not reading (or rereading) fantasy and sci-fi books, she can be found drawing cats in her sketchbook and working on short stories of her own, some of which can be found in Young Inklings' 2022 and 2025 books and Owl Hollow Press's Change the World anthology. She is looking forward to helping Polyphony Lit as an Executive Editor!
