About the Authors:
Emery Lee
Emery Lee is the award-winning author of MEET CUTE DIARY and CAFÉ CON LYCHEE. Eir books have received starred reviews, been featured in ALA’s rainbow booklist, been translated into multiple languages, and been exhibited in the Museum of Transology, the UK's most significant collection of objects representing trans, nonbinary, and intersex people's lives. E seeks to tell stories about complex characters that challenge conventional power structures and make room for marginalized readers across fandom spaces.
Laura Taylor Namey
Laura Taylor Namey is the New York Times and international bestselling author of young adult fiction including Reese's Book Club pick A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow. A proud Cuban-American, she can be found hunting for vintage treasures and wishing she was in London or Paris. She lives in San Diego.
Leanne Schwartz
Leanne Schwartz is the autistic author of the young adult romantic fantasies A Prayer for Vengeance and To a Darker Shore, as well as the adult romance My Kind of Trouble under the name L. A. Schwartz. She has spent about half her life at either the library or the local theater, where she has played Lady Macbeth, Lady Capulet, and Hera—perhaps one reason she writes such vengeful, murderous girls. When she’s not teaching English and poetry, she can be found baking pizzelle, working with Authors Against Book Bans, and singing along to showtunes. Visit her on Instagram and BlueSky @SchwartzWords.
Corina Bair
Corina Bair writes feel-good love stories with tension-building spice, funny and relatable characters, and Happily Ever After's that feel like a hug in book form. All of her novels take place in queer-normative worlds. When she's not reading or writing, you can find Corina forcing snuggles on her dog, rollerblading with her partner, practicing tarot, or embroidering everything she can get her hands on, including book covers.
Elle Jauffret
Elle Jauffret is an award‑winning mystery author whose work explores identity, perception, and hidden power structures. A French native and former California criminal attorney, she brings legal insight, cultural nuance, and sharp psychological tension to contemporary mysteries and speculative fiction.
