Gabriel is a Brazilian author and illustrator who’s been drawing ever since he can remember. Moving from a big city in Brazil to a small town in Massachusetts filled with old forests and dense woods sparked his fascination with magic and the unknown from an early age. Now, even as an adult, he still writes and makes art on the topic, while also bringing in his experience of what it’s like growing up as an immigrant in a new place.

Gabriel now lives with his partner and cat on the West Coast of France, becoming ever more inspired by the medieval towns and villages to illustrate fantasy watercolor scenes.

Taylor Riley Parham is queer fiction author based in sin city, Las Vegas, who got her start writing sapphic rom-coms. She discovered her love for writing at a very young age. While others were swinging on the monkey bars, she wrote screenplays for her friends to perform. An avid reader and lover of all things horror and slasher, she loves a compelling plot that can make you second-guess the shadowy figure in the corner. She hopes to bring light to underrepresented voices and identities in all her work, whether the setting be raw and real, or a not-too-far-fetched, uncanny reality. When her hands aren’t glued to her keyboard, you can find her cuddled up with her rescue Chihuahua, Chai, and her two rambunctious cats, Tempeh and Pumpkin, probably watching the latest horror flick.

Emily Rath was raised in Northern Kentucky. A life-long lover of words, she’s been writing for as long as she could hold a pencil. Her earliest stories were about daring egg burglars, majestic horse lords, and seafaring adventurers. She put story-writing on hold for a few years… quite a few years… as she pursued higher education. She chose to focus on her other soul mate: international politics. This lover showed her the world outside of books.

Now, she holds a BA in political science and philosophy and a PhD in peace studies and political science. She specializes in African politics and credits her time living in Malawi for reigniting her love of writing. She’s currently a university professor and lives in Florida.

The author’s next two novels have been acquired by Jo Fletcher Books for the UK market — NORTH IS THE NIGHT (2025) and SOUTH IS THE SEA (2026).

Words have always been Sian’s poison of choice and she grew up on a healthy reading diet of any books she could get her hands on. She worked in content creation in the YouTube space while studying for her BA in English Literature and Journalism, before completing a post grad and becoming a secondary school English teacher ten years ago. Sian later moved into primary teaching before hanging up her whiteboard pen to start a family of her own.

In 2021 she had her daughter, Rue, and motherhood led her back to content creation, this time on TikTok, sharing baby-led weaning advice, recipes, tips and tricks to an audience of almost 1 million followers. She combines her many passions, such as child development, nutrition and education, with engaging story-telling to alleviate worries around weaning and give confidence to her audience.

Sian’s interests as a writer are in lifestyle and also children’s fiction, and she is excited to begin the journey of bringing these dreams to life.
