Madeline Ashby (born April 24, 1983 in Panorama City, California)[2] is an American-Canadian science fiction writer.[3] She is best known for her 2016 novel Company Town,[4] which was selected for the 2017 edition of Canada Reads.[5]

She previously published the novels VN (2012)[6] and iD (2013),[7] as well as numerous short stories in anthologies and literary magazines.[3] A graduate of OCAD University,[3] she is a regular columnist for the Ottawa Citizen.[3]

In addition to being a science fiction writer, Ashby has also had jobs working for Intel, the Ontario government, and design and communication firms.[2] She now lives in Toronto, Ontario.[2]

In 2013, Ashby received enough nominations to be a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer,[8] but recused herself on the grounds that her professional writing career had started with her 2009 publication of a short story in Nature — and thus her two-year Campbell eligibility period had expired in 2011.[9]
