Danie Ware is a single working Mum with long-held interests in role-playing, re-enactment, vinyl art toys and personal fitness. She went to all all-boys' public school, has a halfway decent English degree, and spent most of her twenties clobbering her friends with an assortment of steel cutlery. These days, she juggles raising her son and writing books with working for Forbidden Planet (London) Ltd., where she runs their events calendar and social media profile – and has the original Judge Anderson inspiration-image behind her desk (no kidding). In those rare times when she's not writing, working, or on manoeuvres with her son, she usually falls over exhausted. Danie is the author of the critically acclaimed Ecko series, out now from Titan Books and Children of Artifice, an urban fairy story, out from Fox Spirit Books. She also writes Sisters of Battle for the Black Library, and has short stories published in numerous anthologies. She lives in Carshalton, south London, with her son and two cats.

Laurel Sills is a writer and editor who lives in South East London with her partner, daughter and two cats. She’s had stories published in Sharkpunk and Game Over, both with Snowbooks. She was the co-founder and editor of the award-winning Holdfast Magazine.

Back when they were a child, Zina Hutton once jumped out of a window to escape dance class in the Virgin Islands. Now they're a speculative fiction writer who tends to leap headfirst into new stories and worlds the second that inspiration strikes. Zina lives in hot and humid South Florida where they're never far away from a notebook and/or an iguana. Zina currently works as a freelance editor and writer with publication credits in Teen Vogue, Fireside Fiction, The Mary Sue, Strange Horizons, ComicsAlliance, Polygon and The Verge. You can find the majority of their work at their digital arts and culture publication Stitch's Media Mix and on Twitter as @stitchmediamix
