Anna Mercier is a writer of fantasy romance for both young adult and adult readers.
To survive the query trenches, she uses her love of teaching to share all she's learned from her time as a PitchWars mentee with others by co-hosting the podcast Basic Pitches.
She also has a healthy love of tinkering with new hobbies, so you can catch her baking, flipping furniture, and gaming.
Emily Thiede is the author of This Vicious Grace.
A former public school teacher, Emily teaches creative writing and serves on the board for Writer House, a local writing nonprofit, and co-hosts the Basic Pitches podcast.
An alumnus of PitchWars and Author Mentor Match, she loves mentoring aspiring authors, fostering kittens, and getting lost in the woods near her home in central Virginia.
