hi! I'm halima

I'm a writer and editor based in London, UK.

I am interested in all things speculative and most of my writing falls in this realm. I wrote for Die Gute Fabrik's game Saltsea Chronicles and I am the writer of Phantom Spark, an upcoming arcade racing game from video game collective Ghosts.

I write stories that surprise, challenge and deal in radical comfort. I'm particularly interested in projects tackling themes of nature, mythology and the climate crisis, with distinctive characters.
