Britt is one of those strange people caught between two cities. Half the year she calls Seattle her home, the other half of the time she's running around the streets of Brooklyn. Currently a student at Pratt Institute, Britt is pursuing a BFA in Creative Writing. Her current projects include a Young Adult, YA Novel, and a blog dedicated to reviewing books with tumblr reaction GIFs. Aside school work she works as the Editor of Pratt Sucess, and as an Editorial Intern for Nightmare and Lightspeed Magazines. Britt also does way too much student, volunteer work. When not writing, Britt can be found drawing strange looking stick-figures. Someday she hopes these stick figures will become a comic book.

Wendy N. Wagner grew up in a town so tiny it didn’t even have a post office. With no television reception, she became a rabid reader, waiting impatiently for the bookmobile’s fortnightly visit to her tiny hometown. Today, her family struggles to find room for her expanding book collection in their Portland, Oregon, home. Wendy's work ranges from horror novels to poetry to environmental essays. Her books include THE SECRET SKIN (a gothic novella), THE DEER KINGS (a horror novel), AN OATH OF DOGS (science fantasy), and two tie-in novels for the Pathfinder role-playing game. A Hugo award-winning editor of short fiction, she currently serves as the editor of NIGHTMARE MAGAZINE and the managing/senior editor of LIGHTSPEED.

Lane Robins was born in Miami, Florida, the daughter of two scientists, and grew up as the first human member of their menagerie. When it came time for a career, it was a hard choice between veterinarian and writer. It turned out to be far more fun to write about blood than to work with it. She received her BA in Creative Writing from Beloit College, and currently lives in Lawrence, Kansas, with an ever-fluctuating number of dogs and cats. She also writes under the pseudonym Lyn Benedict.
