Ivy H. Marikova is a writer and marketing specialist based in Prague, Czech Republic. She also hosts the queer podcast Swords & Sapphics with her long-distance best friend, Rachel. More often than not, you can find her cursing while playing Fortnite, crying over words on paper, trapping sims in a basement, or receiving very fluffy cuddles from her dog, Addie.
Nicole Zelniker (she/they) is the indie author of several books, including FROM WHERE WE ARE, which has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and the newly published ALL I KNOW SO FAR. She’s also the founder of Knee Brace Press, which is an online literary magazine devoted to stories about disability and mental health.
In her free time, Nicole enjoys re-reading her favorite books, talking about the intersection of queerness and chronic illness on the internet, and cuddling her formerly semi-feral tabby cat. You can keep up with them on TikTok at @nicolewritesbooks or Threads, Bluesky, and Instagram at @nicolezelniker.
