J.F.R. Coates

J.F.R. Coates is a speculative fiction author, focusing in fantasy and science fiction. Her work tends to focus away from the human characters of the setting, instead giving life to the creatures that dwell alongside the familiar. From dragons and gryphons, to creatures of her own creation - like the ailur or starat - these story worlds are full of fascinating creatures to get to know.

Born and raised in picturesque Somerset, England, J.F.R. Coates moved to Brisbane in Australia as a teenager. She grew up reading from a young age, starting with Enid Blyton's The Famous Five and Secret Seven, before finding her calling with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Fantasy has gripped her ever since, and now she calls amongst her favourite authors Maggie

Steven De Luca

I live near Edinburgh, Scotland. Some of my favourite authors are Anne McCaffrey, David Gemmell, Raymond Feist, Philp K Dick and Brandon Sanderson. Too many to list! I've loved writing and self publishing my novel, "Bound in Scales" and learned so much from the process.
From an early age I was an avid reader and always believed I had a story to tell. I mentioned this to my friend, Chris... probably a lot. One day he said to me, "You keep telling me you have a book in you, why don't you just write it?" I accepted his 'challenge' and wrote a novel. A big novel. over 200k words. I looked at it as a practice run and I plan to revisit it. It needs some TLC and a lot of editing. However, I found I had a passion for writing and from the ashes of m

Daniel Fliederbaum

Passionate about stories from a young age, Daniel Fliederbaum spent the entirety of their first-grade year too embarrassed of their bad handwriting to pick up a pencil and actually write.

Now that they have a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, they're crafting even more emotional and imaginative tales than before.

When they aren’t writing, Daniel likes to spend time with friends, with their cat, and gorging themself on a steady diet of young adult fantasy, Japanese anime and Pokémon games. Follow them on Bluesky at @fireandpai

Michael Miele

Michael Miele is a dragon, at least on the internet. During the day he wrangles computers with strange runes and magic to support his hoard of to-read books. He writes science-fiction, fantasy, and slice of life themed short stories.

His debut book, Tales of Scales, is a collection of 10 short stories that all have to do with a dragon in some way. He finds dragons and talking animals in general endlessly fascinating. When he's not writing you can find him playing volleyball, painting, or playing board games with friends.

From a cozy room nestled deep within an impossible castle, comes a voice that'd like to say "Curl up with a good book and be kind to yourself."

Max Florschutz

Max Florschutz was born and raised in the wilds of southeast Alaska, on a little island that boasted both a large, lumber-based economy and one of the highest rainfalls to ever not be desired by humanity. In 2004 he began attending college at Brigham Young University Provo, taking a two-year break to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Upon his return, he continued to attend BYU Provo and began to delve heavily into English courses (among other things), including creative writing classes taught by authors such as Brandon Sanderson. Transferring out to BYU Hawaii to keep a promise, Max finished his degree, graduating in 2011 with more credits than most students would know what to do with and a 3.96 GPA.

Payson R. Harris

Payson R. Harris (they/them) is Canada’s premier bigendered, autistic, queer, polyamorous writer—as far as they know. If you find another, please contact them so they can form a support group, then battle it out, Highlander-style.

When Payson isn’t writing, powerlifting, reading, gaming, baking, playing rugby, working, or spending time with their partners, they are desperately trying to find the time to sleep.

They reside in Ottawa, though their mind conveniently revolves around whatever their current obsession is. Hopefully, it is something healthy and productive, with fewer side effects than the time they needed to perfect their truffle-making skills and gained 5 kilos.

They are not as clever as they think, but hopefully are clever enough to

P.C. Keeler

Born in the far-off days of the Second Millennium, P.C. Keeler spends his days writing detailed instructions for very dim but precise silicon brains to follow and finds it a relaxing change of pace to write more conversationally for charming, handsome, intellectual readers like you. He enjoys past, present, and future, preferably all at once. Steampunk and Ren Faires work well for this.

Currently residing in the wilds of Fairfield County, Connecticut, he grew up in New Hampshire and as such has never quite gotten used to sales tax. His first published work was a short poem printed by a local newspaper at the tender age of six. Him, that is. The newspaper was considerably more well-established. He has continued writing since, most recently ap

Saylor Ferguson

Saylor Ferguson has been writing stories featuring animals for longer than she can remember. To this day, she's a firm believer that there just aren't enough creature fantasy tales, and she has made it one of her life goals to remedy this issue. When not writing tales of dragons, griffins, birds, or wolves-- or some combination of the four-- she can be found hawking, fishing, or hiking. Along with one grumpy guinea pig, Saylor lives in North Carolina, where she finds great inspiration in the natural beauty and varied wildlife.
