Pirate Queen and wordsmith extraordinaire Clare Sager is a former lecturer turned fantasy author. With both a bachelor of arts and a masters of arts in Creative Writing, she writes stories of swoon-worthy, troublesome men and strong, sassy women who can handle them.

When she’s not writing or master planning her next book, she’s an editor, outline coach, and self-publishing consultant. In her spare time, she enjoys cycling, reading, and sewing beautiful creations. Her stationery addiction knows no bounds, with a washi tape and fountain pen collection to rival that of a stationery store, she loves to spend time chilling with her bujo planning world domination. She likes cats, coffee, and speaks fluent sarcasm.Read More →

Costantia was born in the UK to Cypriot parents and spent the picture book period of her life in London (battling with a name that even she has difficulty pronouncing in English!). She spent her middle grade and young adult years in Cyprus and then the USA and then back round again.

She now lives amidst almond and olive trees on the outskirts of a hot, dusty Cypriot village, the Green Line and buffer zone checkpoints clearly visible from her kitchen windows. Her two young daughters, English hubby, lioness-dog Luna, and hyperactive pup Woody keep her busy and are an endless source of story ideas, new characters, and constant interruptions. Her debut picture book Tomatoes in my Lunchbox will be available in spring/summer 2022 (Roaring Brook Press/Macmillan USA).Read More →

Ash Roberts is a transgender author who writes books about dragons, and those who ride them. She has loved dragons ever since a family friend lent a precocious fourteen-year-old her copy of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonflight. She was hooked.

She credits Rick Riordan with saving her life because of a trans character he wrote. To pay it forward, she now writes books with plenty of LGBTQIA+ characters so that queer kids can see themselves in stories and not feel so alone.

When not writing, she spends her time in Northern Colorado with her wife and their family, including 2 ¾ cats.
