Maiko Serizawa

Author, Storyteller, Mathematician

Hello, my dear friend, I’m Maiko.

I’m a storywriter, mathematician, and committed life appreciator living in Ottawa. My mission is to tap into the forgotten treasures in our hearts through storytelling. We all have shadowed parts, which may not earn any status in the society, but are still meaningful and wonderful. What if those parts of us can have a place in this world? What will happen if they can fully come to life?

My Little Brother: a childhood memoir

My early childhood memoir My Little Brother is coming out on October 29th, 2024! Get your advance copy (e-book) by signing up for my Advance Reader Group!

My Little Brother is an absolutely brilliant book. In a selection of vignettes – memories of simple moments in her childhood – Serizawa tells a beautifully rich and layered story, one that is at once full of joy and aching loss.  It’s a completely engrossing read, and I was totally immersed.  It is also a deeply personal story: I feel I got to know her brother and felt what it was to love him.
