Arlette Krijgsman

Arlette Krijgsman is proposal writer by day en fantasyschrijver by night. Als lid van het Nederlands fantasy-collectief Het Papieren Zwaard (HPZ) promoot ze graag fantasy van Nederlandse bodem. Op de schrijfavonden van HPZ kwam Web van angst tot leven, het verhaal waarmee Arlette in 2024 de Moon YA Fantasy Contest won. Het idee voor dit boek vloeide voort uit haar eigen ervaringen met angst. Door deze op papier tot leven te brengen en erover te schrijven heeft ze die de afgelopen jaren steeds meer kunnen overwinnen. Arlette woont in Den Haag met haar hond Fjor, houdt ervan om creatief bezig te zijn en geniet graag van lange wandelingen in de natuur.

S.F. Williamson

S. F. Williamson is fascinated by the way languages are born and was surrounded by them long before she undertook a degree in French and Italian.

From her Grandma’s rolling Scottish R’s and her Nan’s ability to slip from English to Welsh, to the dialect spoken in the French village she grew up in, Steph has always known that languages are creatures that live and move and breathe.

As a child she learned that speaking them meant accessing ideas, traditions and people she would only otherwise know from a distance. Her debut novel, A Language of Dragons, is inspired by her work as a literary translator and the fact that no matter how intimately a linguist knows their languages, some meaning is almost always lost in translation.
