Bonnie Ferrante is a hybrid writer (publishing traditionally and self-publishing). She was a grade school teacher for thirty-three years, ten as teacher-librarian. She has received three OAC grants for her writing. She has recently entered the field of self-publishing and is greatly enjoying illustrating her own picture books although this becomes more difficult as her Parkinson's Disease progresses. Bonnie also has a Youtube site. "Welcome parents, teachers, and kids to my safe youtube site. Kids can listen to a book being read or a story being told, learn about words and numbers, and sing along. Adults can watch a book trailer and find new ways to teach your children using inexpensive materials, active learning, and the outdoors."

Hi, I'm Josh, and I write stuff. My short fiction has previously appeared in Asimov's, Escape Pod, and the Crossed Genres anthology Fat Girl in a Strange Land, among others. I have also been reprinted by the Parsec-winning Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine and the Hugo-winning StarShipSofa, and my shorter works have been collected in The Clockwork Russian, released November 2015, and Boss Fight, released 2019. My novel After the Apocalypse was released in 2017. I am a graduate of the Taos Toolbox Writing Workshop and an active member of SFWA. When not writing, I mostly complain about the fact that I'm not writing. I engage in pogonotrophy on a regular basis, and sometimes suffer from sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. I was once cool for about fifteen minutes, back in the 1990s, and still look back on that time with great fondness. I also enjoy board games, cooking, and fantasy football. I should not be confused with trombonist Josh Roseman.

AJ Fitzwater is 1000 tiny dragons flapping furiously inside a meat suit, living between two fault lines in Christchurch, New Zealand. Their short stories have been published in Clarkesworld, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Shimmer Magazine, Giganotosaurus, and other venues and anthologies of repute. Their capybara pirate collection "The Voyages of Cinrak The Dapper" is available from Queen of Swords Press April 2020, and their WW2 Land Girls shapeshifter novella "No Man's Land" is available from Paper Road Press May 2020. Two Sir Julius Vogel Awards hunker on their shelf, and the Clarion Class of 2014 hunkers in their history.

"I'm a writer, primarily of science fiction and fantasy." Pete "Patch" Alberti lives in a small house with delightfully antiquated ceiling heights in Massachusetts. He shares this abode with several humans of varying ages and the usual compliment of cats. When not writing fiction, Pete writes computer code. The two are remarkably similar, though he recommends careful compartmentalizing. (There was an incident with a sword of be-spelling and a server which is best left untold.) Pete enjoys playing games, baking cookies, critiquing the politics of fantasy novels, and hiding behind the bed with his cat when guests arrive.
