Brent Lambert is a Black, queer man who heavily believes in the transformative power of speculative fiction across media formats. As a founding member of FIYAH Literary Magazine, he turned that belief into action and became part of a Hugo Award winning team. Currently, he has a novella A NECESSARY CHAOS out from Neon Hemlock and is part of the Black horror anthology ALL THESE SUNKEN SOULS. He also recently was in the exceptionally gay anthology, I WANT THAT TWINK OBLITERATED. Ask him his favorite members of the X-Men and you’ll get different answers every time.

Her stories have appeared in anthologies from WordFire Press and Timber Ghost Press.

Sara Larner lives in New York City where she writes, paints, and attends Barnard College of Columbia University, earning a Bachelors in English with a Double Concentration in Creative Writing and Film and a Minor in Classical Studies—which after repeating several hundred times she has decided is, in fact, a mouthful. She recently finished her fourth novel (the first for which she’s seeking publication) and her second feature length screenplay, and is hard at work on a second original tv pilot while negotiating the option contract for the pilot and show bible she wrote over the summer. She spends her free time filling painting commissions, dancing, and—whenever there is a breath of time—reading. (Okay, often reading when there is no time and she should really be doing Actual Work.)
