Speculative Fiction by Tonya Snyder

If you are searching for speculative fiction that feels atmospheric, character-driven, and emotionally real, you are in the right place.

I am a speculative fiction author writing literary, mythic, and emotionally immersive stories. My work blends science fiction and fantasy with grounded human experience, exploring planetary memory, survival, longing, and the hidden language beneath what we can easily name.

What I Write

My speculative fiction lives at the intersection of:

  • speculative fiction

  • literary science fiction

  • mythic fiction

  • character-driven science fantasy

  • emotionally layered, atmospheric storytelling

Featured Project: The Language of Alden Mire

The Language of Alden Mire is a speculative fiction series about a boy born into surveillance, a living planet that remembers, and a language that is not spoken but felt.

Set on the living world of Mire, the story follows Alden as he begins to hear what the planet has been trying to say all along. As control tightens around him, he must decide whether to obey the systems that raised him or trust the deeper call beneath them.

Themes include:

  • planetary consciousness

  • memory and inheritance

  • love under pressure

  • power, control, and resistance

  • found family
