Ash Alexander is a queer, neurodivergent Jewish writer, poet, artist and independent academic. He is from Glasgow originally but has been based in Dundee for almost 18 years. He has been published in Carnations Violets & Lavender, The Page Gallery, Dark Poets Club, and has recently contributed to a Queer Rage anthology to raise funds for queer authors in China facing political persecution. His creative work primarily explores the intersections of queer identity, sexuality, faith, history, trauma, and healing. Currently, he is nearing completion of his first poetry collection, and is also working on several fiction projects, including an Appalachian gothic novella, two historical fiction plays, a graphic novel, and a romantasy saga (all of them queer, of course). He is only ever half joking when he says he will literally die if he doesn’t express himself.
Erin Farley is a storyteller and local historian based in Dundee. She tells folk tales and historical legends with a traditional style, and is obsessed with the places where folklore, literature, history and religion messily overlap. Her favourite stories have a strong sense of place, invite you to question reality, or are about stupid men and the devil – ideally all three.
Rafael Torrubia is the author of The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver, the first novel in an epic fantasy series from Gollancz. They have won a number of awards for their writing and poetry, including Writer of the Year from the National Gallery of Scotland, the Deirdre Roberts Poetry Prize and multiple shortlistings for the Bridport Prize. Their previous prose and poetry work rests with Bloomsbury, the National Gallery of Scotland, Jupiter Artland and Sword & Kettle press. Like all recovering historians, they have also worked in wine, whisky and at the National Museum of Scotland.
Gavin Cameron is a writer and facilitator who runs the What’s Your Story? writing group and is a co-founder of the Wyverns poetry circl
