Issy Waldrom

I'm a trans woman author from New Zealand, who likes to write queer fantasy/urban fantasy with queer casts and transfemme mc's, usually sapphic. I started writing and posting on the webnovel sites as a hobby in 2019, and it has grown into being a lot more than what I initially thought. Writing is now a passion, as I really want to be able to share the worlds and characters that I have created and love very much. They do, after all, mean a lot to me.

My biggest complete series is Soul Flames, high fantasy with dragons, their riders, and the journey to deal with the evil that has plagued the world. I also have a shifter romance series (Paths for short, featuring dragons! then wolves!, book 2 due out this year), a litrpg book (Esper, with a cut

Meghan O'Brien

Born in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, Meghan O’Brien relocated to Northern California in 2005. As a transplant, she enjoys the moderate weather and gorgeous scenery of the Bay Area. Meghan lives with her wife, their son, three cats, three dogs, two snakes and several tarantulas. Yes, it can be just as chaotic as it sounds.

Meghan’s day job is as a software developer, but her real passion is writing. From her humble beginnings creating numerous “books” out of construction paper and crayons as soon as she learned to write, to her several published novels and various anthology contributions, writing is what makes her feel most complete.

Maya Deane

Maya Deane is writing for eternity. We imagine she would enjoy a nice reception in the present, but when we are all dust, her sinister spells will continue to unfold, guiding the motion of the stars inexorably down into the gravity wells of the supermassive black holes.

Since we are all currently alive, she would love to discuss the many things people should know about: the history of forks, cannabis-hotboxing Amazons in the archeological record, the top three most famous 18th century French trans women, experimental culinary archaeology (buy her a bunch of ancient bread loaf molds so she can make conical loafs, please), and the importance of good diplomatic relationships with cats.

When mortals come to naught and their name is naught, she w

T.C. Parker

I'm a writer and researcher based in the fox-ravaged wilds of Leicestershire.

I've been a copywriter, a lecturer and, very briefly, an academic; now I run a semiotics and cultural insight agency by day and dream up horror and crime fiction at night, when the kids are asleep.

I write mostly horror and crime, skeet enthusiastically as @tcparker.bsky.social, and post the occasional poorly-composed photo on Instagram (as @writestc).
