About the authors:
Rose Lerner writes historical romance with strong heroines and adorable heroes, as well as doing freelance book doctoring, editing, and research assistance. She has taught craft and research workshops for conferences, libraries, and writers’ groups. Her small-town Lively St. Lemeston series has been featured in NPR’s Book Concierge and Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2014. Her most recent books are the m/m novella “Sailor’s Delight” and the Audible Original The Wife in the Attic, an f/f Jane Eyre retelling (also available in ebook and print). When she’s not writing or researching, you can find Rose reading, watching, cooking, doodling, rambling, and daydreaming in Philadelphia.
Olivia Waite writes queer historical romance, fantasy, science fiction, and essays. She is currently the romance fiction columnist for the New York Times Book Review, where she writes reviews and thoughtful essays on the genre's history and future.
