S. C. Carroll is fascinated by richly detailed settings and by ensemble casts on intersecting journeys. Her favorite writers are Ursula K. Le Guin, Leo Tolstoy, Amy Tan, Shirley Jackson, and the incomparable Toni Morrison. She tries to bring her favorite devices from literature—setting as character, experimental points-of-view, and unreliable narrators—to her genre fiction.

She’s currently querying her first novel, Bloodbound, a young adult fantasy co-written with Jackie Roberti, and revising her second.

Alex Graziano got started writing short fiction while living in Somerville, MA. He's since migrated to the mountains in NH, where he's working on completing his first book — a lowkey sci-fi novel that explores the generational and ideological gap between a father and son.

Jackie Roberti (she/her) is a writer and software engineer based in Somerville MA. In her work she draws from personal experiences in the outdoors to build vivid settings and high-stakes adventures, grounded in characters who discover themselves in these environments, as she does. She is querying her debut novel Bloodbound with co-author Sophia Carroll, a YA fantasy about a world in which immortality is a non-renewable resource that is as destructive as it is addictive. She's currently working on her second novel, Aurora Australis, a historical fantasy that takes place during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration and follows a family saga and its secrets. She's (grudgingly) on #booktwitter and you can read her infrequent tweets here.

Travis Taylor (he/his) is a collector of overlooked stories from early American history and is working on a project that explores American expansionism during the Jacksonian-era through a lens of alternative history. He is a member of the Choctaw-Apache Tribe of Ebarb, located in Sabine Parish, Louisiana and is inspired by the work of Susanna Clarke, Bernard Cornwell, Charles C. Mann, Howard Zinn, and William Manchester.

Alex Watling is interested in exploring the absurd through Zines and Science Fiction. Primarily from Massachusetts, he currently calls Montreal home. When he's not writing you can find him at the movies or on a personal quest for pastries. He welcomes all inquiries both silly and serious here.
