Jaka Tomc

When Jaka was three years old, sitting in his grandfather's lap, he wanted to do what his grandpa was doing. So, he learned to read. Starting with obituaries.

Reading soon led to writing. At an early age, Jaka realized he was better at writing than talking. Even today, he doesn't like small talk. But his characters do, and they're pretty good at it. Jaka believes that this is one of life's ironies.

His favorite part of the year is summer, his favorite fruit is strawberries, and his favorite book is Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. Probably because after four decades of living in his current body, he's still waiting for his childhood to end. He wouldn't mind if it never does.

Currently, he lives with his family in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Mojca Rudolf

Pisateljica. In bralka. Rada imam drugačne zgodbe. Pišem drugačne knjige. Vsaka je samosvoja, vsaka posebna.
Ste vedeli, da ima ena od mojih knjig kar dva konca? Da ima ena namesto naslovov poglavij horoskope? Da v eni od knjig glavna junakinja potuje skozi čas in se znajde v kar nekaj od svetovnih katastrof; med drugim doživi tudi potres v Ljubljani. Da izumim izraz revnomanija in ga pojasnim? Ter se v ZMENIKIH pogovarjam z Ivanom Cankarjem?

Sabina Štrubelj

Sabina Štrubelj je rojena pisateljica, ki je pesmi pisala, še preden je poznala malo tiskano abecedo. Je tipična introvertiranka, ki se v družbi novih ljudi obnaša malo nenavadno, a vendar strašno srčkano. Ko jo spoznaš in se ti končno odpre, pa se hitro srečaš z njenim velikim srcem, prav trdovratnim oklepanjem povsem neracionalnih idej, kaotičnim bivalnim okoljem, nerazložljivim oboževanjem latino glasbe in nenehnim poslušanjem vedno enih in istih skladb, za katere ti nikoli ne bo jasno (in njej prav tako ne), kako da se jih ne naveliča, ko pa se v življenju tolikih reči tako hitro prenasiti. Radovedna in iskriva duša, po kateri so menda poimenovali izraza nepoboljšljivi idealist in brezupni romantik.
