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.

H.E. Edgmon
H.E. Edgmon (he/they) is a high school and college dropout, a militant queer, and an author of books both irreverent and radicalizing. His stories will always center the perspective of Indigenous people, trans people, and survivors of trauma. At present, he’s probably biting off more than he can chew, emulating the aesthetic of Dwayne from The Lost Boys (1987), and living out the found family trope in Brooklyn. Online, he can most often be found on Twitter @heedgmon.
