Alison Stedman (senior fiction editor)
Alison Stedman would like to say she has completed several degrees in writing, won a generous handful of accolades, and has a single-minded focus on becoming a successful novelist. In fact she hasn't much experience and was distracted from this path by the study of history. Currently working on her MA thesis, she is immersed in the 1930s, a world of heroes and villains, saviours and demons. New Zealand is her home.

Carrie Bachler (fiction editor)
Carrie Bachler lives and works as an editor in Michigan. She is currently working on her first book, with plans of one day becoming a novelist. She enjoys spending time with her husband, especially traveling to new places, and her interests include cooking and eating, drinking wine, and reading.

Stacy Brazalovich (nonfiction editor)
Stacy Brazalovich lives in that terrible, wintry land known as Michigan. In her spare time, she reads, cooks, and practices yoga. She is considering revising the novel she wrote a few years ago, but isn’t certain she’s ready for that much work. She is currently obsessed with the fine lines around her eyes and wonders if she’ll ever be carded again.

Sherri Miller (fiction editor)
Sherri Miller is the founder and senior editor of The Hutchinson Island Writers Group and its online literary journal, A Golden Place. She is the former editor of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Ohio, St. Jude Bridge newsletter, and former editor of the Cincinnati, Ohio, United Italian Society La Voce II newsletter. As a classically trained musician, she performed with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra between the ages of ten and seventeen, and attended college at the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. She has resided in sunny Southeast Florida since 2006.
