MEET THE FOE TEAM
CAIT YAGA
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Cait Yaga (she/her) is an author, poet, and editor who unapologetically explores themes of resilience, agency, power, and morality. Her stories are gritty, unflinching, and propulsive, as is her commitment to her craft, and her writing has a tasteful creep factor that will send chills up your spine long after you’ve put it down. She has two pieces published in The Bolo Tie Collective Volume IX, and one published in War of the Words 2025 Volume II, where she received honourable mention. She is scheduled to be published in two additional anthologies in Fall 2026, including Beyond the Concert Hall: An Anthology of Sound, where she is also an editor. Yaga is currently working on her fourth novel.
