Meet Min Jae Rivers

Min Jae Rivers is a Jewish Korean American fantasy writer whose stories rise from the mist‑covered forests of Tacoma, Washington. With a creative writing degree from Washington State University and a lifelong love of myth, magic, and romance, she crafts worlds where destiny, desire, and ancient forces collide.

Her inspirations span from the sweeping epics of The Lord of the Rings and Avatar to the emotional intensity of spicy romance novels and the vibrant energy of K‑pop. When she isn’t writing, Min Jae can be found wandering nature trails, sipping fufu drinks with friends, or diving into her ever‑growing fantasy book collection.

A lover of Japanese anime, cute things like Pokémon, and the electric atmosphere of comic cons and world fantasy conventions, she thrives in spaces where imagination is celebrated. She is deeply connected to her Jewish and Korean roots, active in both communities, and fluent in Hebrew.

Min Jae is also a seeker of legends — especially the cryptids of the Pacific Northwest. She has gone on multiple Bigfoot expeditions and has heard things in the woods that defy explanation.

Fiercely independent and endlessly creative, she writes fantasy romance for readers who crave magic, emotion, and the thrill of the unknown.
