Stephanie Whitaker – In House Designer
Stephanie Whitaker is a young adult author and award-winning graphic designer. While she enjoys design, books have always had a profound influence on her life. As the first person in her family to graduate from college, she understands the struggles and determination it takes to follow your dreams. When she’s not writing young adult fantasy novels with unexpected twists or spending time with her family, she can be found with her nose in a book. You can follow her blog, or connect with her on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. She/Her
Thuy Nguyen – Content Coordinator
Thuy Nguyen is a fantasy writer of Vietnamese descent. She was born and raised in New Orleans but also calls Scotland and the Arizona desert home. One would think this diversity comes with a uniquely cool accent, but sadly she has none. By day, she’s an engineer. By night, she’s an artist. By fall, she’s a football fiend sporting her hometown colors—right down to the sneakers. Find her on Twitter and her website.
Sheri MacIntyre – Communications Coordinator
Sheri MacIntyre is thrilled to be spinning her own stories, after 20+ years as a business copywriter/editor and communications strategist. Sheri is passionate about helping other writers discover their strengths and build their skills through the power of workshopping their fiction with other committed writers. She lives in Vancouver, BC, with her family, but she mostly dwells in 16th century Scotland with her time-travelling heroine and deliciously dangerous hero. Sheri loves to connect with other craft-talking writers and history nerds on Twitter, via her website.
By day Jen spends her time behind a computer reading regulatory documents (also known as bland writing with no excitement). By night she can be found reading, working on edits for critique partners, writing her next great story, or chilling with her family. Jen’s been reading and telling stories since she could talk.
A Texan at heart, it doesn’t matter that she transplanted to the Midwest nearly 20 years ago. Rain or shine, humidity or snow, she’s happiest with a book in hand. There’s nothing better than a good love story no matter if it takes place in space, has dragons, or just a good ‘ol small-town hero and heroine.
