Calista Brill and Nilah Magruder

Calista Brill is a writer and editor based in New England, where she lives with her family and either too many or too few house spiders, depending on how you feel about spiders. She has fallen off as many horses as she has ridden, which is a lot. Although Calista has yet to achieve her life's dream of petting a possum, she has read a lot of comic books, sewed a few quilts, and eaten an appropriate number of lime Popsicles (also a lot).

Nilah Magruder is the author of M.F.K., How to Find a Fox, and Wutaryoo. She has written comics, illustrated children’s books, and worked as a writer and storyboard artist for animation. Nilah lives in Maryland and spends her free time baking, gardening, and wrangling her dogs, cats, and chickens.
