Kathryn Shalley began her editing career at Five Rivers Publishing, editing many projects including Joe Mahoney's A Time and a Place and Timothy Gwyn's Avians. She was student co-editor of In My Memories Like That, a collection by Mount Royal University students and Calgary seniors. Presently, she works at Edge Publishing in Calgary and has recently edited TransMigrations by Eddie Louise.

Sarah Ens worked as the editorial assistant at Turnstone Press, an independent Winnipeg publisher, for over three years. She is the social media coordinator for Geez Magazine and has published her own writing in several literary magazines, and continues to do freelance editorial work.

Allison McFarland accumulates books, wool, small appliances, hair (both fake and cat), book titles on post-it-notes, and aliases. She writes novel(la)s because listing forms takes too many words.
