Emmelie Arents

Iedereen in haar naaste (en verre) omgeving kent Emmelie als het muzikale meisje met het boek in haar hand.

Sinds haar prille jeugd is de echte wereld ondergeschikt aan wat haar fantasie haar te bieden heeft. Ze brengt graag tijd alleen door, denkend aan de dingen die nog ongeschreven in haar hoofd schuilen.

Schrijven doet ze het liefst thuis, op een rustig plekje en in gezelschap van haar kat Toulouse. Je vindt haar daar ook achter de piano, of met een boek in de hand.

Ze houdt van Midden-Aarde, chocolade, de geur van boeken, oude dingen, het geluid van regen, bibliotheken, notitieboeken en katten.

Naast schrijven maakt Emmelie ook lid uit van de band Solitude Within en werkt ze part-time in Brussel.

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.

Shalini Abeysekara

Shalini Abeysekara (she/her/hers) is the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of This Monster of Mine. As a former corporate lawyer, she enjoys using fantasy to interrogate reality, exploring monstrosity—perceived and real—and centering neurodivergent women of colour reckoning with themselves and their place in a world that tells them they’re too much and not enough. She is passionate about demystifying traditional publishing for all writers. When not writing, she games her life away and tries to make the perfect entremet. Most days though, she can’t believe she's an adult, and hope you don’t either.

Her debut dark fantasy romance, This Monster of Mine, is an Ancient Rome-inspired bloodbath of manipulation, deception, and forbidden love. A sec
