Clare Fisher is a fiction writer and creative writing lecturer. Her debut novel, All the Good Things (Viking, Penguin, 2017) won a Betty Trask award and was described by the Guardian as ‘a sparky and unsettling debut.’ Her short story collection, How the Light Gets In (Influx Press, 2018) was longlisted for the Edgehill Short Story prize and the International Dylan Thomas prize. Her most recent short story collection, The Moon is Trending has just been published by Salt.

H. Gareth Gavin is the author of Never Was: A Novel Without A World (Cipher Press, 2023), which has been shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize, and of Midland (Penned in the Margins, 2014), which was shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize. His short story, 'Home Death', was longlisted for the Galley Beggar Press Short Story Prize. He is also interested in writing that moves between the creative and the critical, has written a monograph on free indirect style, and currently teaches a course on trans studies. He was born in Birmingham and lives in Manchester, where he works in the Centre for New Writing at the University of Manchester.

Rosie Šnajdr writes experimental short fiction. She has written two short stories collections—A Hypocritical Reader (Dostoyevsky Wannabe, 2018) and Whorl the Prudident Slipt (Veer, 2021)—and is currently working on a mosaic novel of stories and fragments called Telepathic Greenland Shark.
