Over the years, Harry has performed his poetry at the Portobello Festival, the Winchester literature fringe festival and numerous open mic. nights and gigs.

You can find Harry's performances on his website: www.harrywhitewolf.com He also writes and illustrates funny children's books, that grown-ups can enjoy too, under the pen name of Mr. Wolf. Check out Mr. Wolf's books and cartoon illustrations on his website: www.booksforchildren.wix.com/mrwolf As if that weren't enough to be getting on with, Harry's poetry has appeared in four other anthologies and you can find his wacky fiction in the unique books ReejecttIIon - a number two and They're Making It Up As They Go Along, which Harry co-authored with Daniel Clausen.

India LaPlace is kind of like if a dive bar and a dumpster fire had a human baby. She is a poet from the United States and a single mom who is aspiring to be a person with self-discipline. Generally pleasant, naturally cynical, and easily won over by a good book and a twisted sense of humor. When she isn't writing or editing, she can be found at home in Upstate New York listening to true crime podcasts, watching stand-up comedy, and sharing moments with her daughter and partner. She still loves Louis C.K.

(Mitch Green) is an aspiring author within the southern region of Omega, GA. 25 years of age and is currently pursuing his BA degree in Creative writing – his starving passion for the acceptance into the literary world – to bring his dark, morbid and a bit sinister stories to sprout and harvest into the minds of readers. He has numerous books in print by a small publishing company – poetry and a short story. His heart biting dreams of becoming a known author in the atmospheres of both novel and film, churns and groans in his soul. He views this world through distinct observations other than what is of bland sculpture – finding solitude in the more melancholic corners of this world, corners not seen to the norm.
