(they/them) Leslie Anne Smith has an MA in Publishing from the University of Derby and has worked as an ESL teacher in South Korea and the US. They are passionate about language learning, minority language preservation, traveling, postcards, football (the real one), and uplifting queer voices. They live out of a suitcase most of the time, but the return address for all their post is for Alabama. Fodd bynnag, bidden nhw bob amser yn dweud annibyniaeth i Gymru.

(he/him) Illustrator and Bird Reader Supreme. Zack has a BFA in Drawing from Jacksonville State University that he definitely does not regret. When he’s not avoiding being eaten by woodland critters in the backwoods where he lives, he enjoys wasting money on trading cards and grazing on charcuterie boards.

(he/him) Jeremy is a perennial writer, traveler, and a theme park enthusiast from south of Derby, United Kingdom. With experience from doing an MA in Publishing from the University of Derby, Jeremy went on to gain experience in editing for Tiny Ghost Press and Phantom Media. As someone who adores sci-fi, he stands by the belief that Wall-E did its plot better than the somewhat similar Interstellar. No amount of free wine will change his mind.

(she/her) Xantha got a degree in being a bad bitch. She loves art in all forms, especially animation and illustration. Xantha is a co-host of the Black Brew Podcast. She is also directionally challenged, and she doesn't believe that chocolate muffins are muffins. She believes that they are cupcakes.

(he/him) Mitchell is a burgeoning writer, mixed martial artist, and coffee connoisseur from Belper, United Kingdom. With an MA in Publishing from the University of Derby, Mitchell has experience in sales and marketing and as a copy editor. He has also worked as a contributor for ScifiFantasyNetwork. He believes the best Star Wars film is Episode III: Revenge of the Sith; argue with the wall about it.

(she/her) Kendall is the chairman of the Anxious Girlies Department. When she's not worrying about things she can't control (which rarely happens), she is analyzing Taylor Swift songs, counting the days since One Direction's hiatus, and complaining about issues in American government. She loves Diet Coke and true crime podcasts. She is the co-host of the Southern Sleuths podcast with Erin. Kendall has a Master's degree in political science and an honorary Ph.D. in Yeehawlogy.
