Maggie Fischer is originally from Oregon but moved to San Diego, California, after receiving her B.A. in English from Gonzaga University.

The daughter of a children’s librarian, Maggie has books in her blood, and relishes the opportunity to write and edit books for kids. She spends her time forgetting to take advantage of the beach, pretending the neighbor’s cat is her own, and listening to true crime podcasts that keep her up at night.

Katya Longhi grew up in Trento, Italy, and studied at the Art Academy in Florence. She has also studied illustration at Nemo NT Academy of Digital Arts.

Katya completed several animation and illustration workshops. She works digitally but she begins by drawing with pencil on paper. In her spare time, Katya loves to read and watch fairy tales and collect snow globes.
