C. (themiddleshelf@wandering.shop) fell into scifi and fantasy at 13 and has never recovered since. They can be found blogging about diverse books, novellas and small press publications at http://www.themiddleshelf .org.

Imyril (@imyril) reviews SFF at There’s Always Room For One More and is the resident spreadsheet dragon for Wyrd and Wonder, SciFiMonth and Subjective Chaos (yes, even chaos benefits from a little organisation, shh).

Gautam Bhatia (@gautambhatia88) is an Indian SF writer, editor, and reviewer. He is the author of The Wall and The Horizon, and reviews and edits for Strange Horizons magazine.

Kris Vyas-Myall (@hammard_1987) is the co-founder of Cloaked Creators and someone who reads way too much fiction and likes anything bizarre, the weirder the better. They blog around the internet at various places including Galactic Journey and Geek Syndicate.

L.A. Young (a.k.a. Aquavenatus, Misty306) is a book reviewer for both her personal blog and Fantasy-Faction.

You can follow her on any of her many social media pages: https://linktr.ee/AquaVenatus

Matt aka @RunalongWomble is a book tempter – ahem, blogger – at Runalongtheshelves. The sweet voice on your shoulder telling you that it’s ok to get a new book. They are not a Moriarty, honest.

Robin Rose Graves (@spicymisorobin) is a science fiction writer who will never pass up the opportunity to talk about what she is reading. To appease this need to review and analyze everything she reads, Robin has founded her BookTube channel, The Book Wormhole.

Roseanna (@chloroform_tea) has been having opinions about books for about as long as she’s been reading, and yelling them into the void since 2012. She blogs at A Reader of Else and contributes to Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together, but can also occasionally be found chasing a rugby ball around in the mud, morris dancing, or pandering to her cat’s every whim.

Sara is one half of Fiction Fans Podcast (@fictionfanspod), a weekly (mostly) SFF podcast which she has cohosted since its inception in 2021. When she’s not reading on the couch with her pugs, she can be found weeding in the garden.

Sun (@suncani1) is a SFF reader who can be found getting overly excited about a bunch of things on Twitter/Mastodon and occasionally pausing to pass longer comment at Wormholes and Wooden Doors.
