Μαρία Ιορδανίδου

Maria Iordanidou
Γεννήθηκε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη το 1897 και έζησε τα παιδικά της χρόνια στον Πειραιά και το Βατούμ της Ρωσίας. Φοίτησε σε ρωσικό γυμνάσιο, στη Σταυρούπολη, όπου τη βρήκε η Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση. Το 1919 γύρισε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη και λίγο αργότερα πήγε στην Αλεξάνδρεια, όπου παντρεύτηκε τον Ιορδάνη Ιορδανίδη. Το 1923 επέστρεψαν μαζί στην Αθήνα, αλλά σύντομα ο Ιορδανίδης έφυγε.

Εξαιτίας των συνθηκών της ζωής της, η Ιορδανίδου απέκτησε μεγάλη γλωσσομάθεια και εργάστηκε ως ιδιωτική υπάλληλος. Έγινε γνωστή στο λογοτεχνικό χώρο με το έργο Λωξάντρα, που έγραψε σε ηλικία 65 χρονών, το 1962, και γνώρισε πολλές επανεκδόσεις. Η Λωξάντρα περιγράφει με μεγάλη ζωντάνια και χιούμορ τα έθιμα και τη ζωή των Ελλήνων της Πόλης και βασίζεται

Soph Tang

Soph Tang is a queer author based in the American PNW. She used to publish esteemed cognitive science research, but after the Great 2020 Collapse of Everything™, she embraced a new dream: becoming an independent author with absolutely no marketing skills and a flair for melodrama.

Now, she publishes emotionally devastating fiction because it's more fun–and somehow less soul-crushing?

Her debut story, Osea (2024), is a dark fantasy full of love, trauma, and vengeance. Her second novel, Decadence (2025), is a queer literary spiral into shame, indulgence, and, well, lesbians. Her latest project, black&white (2025), is a serialized psychological thriller that drags you like a frayed brush across the canvas of a broken heart.
