Saiya Floyd

Saiya Floyd is a Japanese-American screenwriter, playwright, and novelist.

As a kid, Saiya was too shy to talk to people, so she made up stories in her head. She had so much fun that she decided to make this her career, and went to study at the College of Communications at Boston University. She graduated with a degree in Film and Television with a focus on screenwriting, and a minor in art history. (She learned how to talk to people somewhere along the way…) When not writing, Saiya practices martial arts, bakes, and dreams of travelling to new places. She is interested in history, folklore, and storytelling.

In her work, Saiya explores new perspectives through a combination of history, fantasy, and sci-fi. Her stories are dramas, and often female-led. Through heightened worlds, she uncovers traits that make us the most human.
