Maha Arshad

Maha Arshad writes YA romance, fantasy romance, and character-driven stories filled with banter, complicated relationships, friendship, family, and hopeful endings. Her published YA romance, Dear Diary, I Hate Him, follows a bookish girl, an annoyingly charming Australian transfer student, and a first impression that goes very, very wrong. When she isn’t writing, she’s usually reading, baking, planning another story, or thinking about fictional characters for far longer than necessary. She especially loves romance, fantasy, strong friendships, and characters who have a little growing up to do before they earn their happy ending. She’s currently working on more fiction, including fantasy romance, and sharing the process, bookish content, and occasional writing chaos online.

Manas Kumar Deb

I’m Manas Kumar Deb, an author and professional 3D Animation artist with a passion for storytelling, imagination, and creating worlds that extend beyond the boundaries of reality. My professional career in 3D animation has given me the opportunity to work with stories rooted in different cultures and creative traditions from around the world. My work has included The Little Prince, rooted in the French literary tradition and produced as an international French-led production; The Jungle Book, drawing from the Indian literary and cultural setting and produced as an India-Germany-France collaboration; Netflix’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, an American animated series; LEGO DREAMZzz, originating from Denmark through the LEGO creative universe; Little Nicholas (Le Petit Nicolas), from France; Disney+’s Eureka!, an American-Irish production; Marnie’s World, an international production involving Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic and India; and Duda & Dada, an Indian-South Korean animated production. Working with stories influenced by such different cultures has had a profound effect on the way I think about creativity. It has allowed me to observe how characters, humour, emotions, visual language, mythology, and storytelling traditions can differ from one culture to another while still connecting with audiences universally. My years in animation have also shaped the way I approach my own writing. I naturally think in terms of characters, environments, atmosphere, visual details, and entire worlds—not simply words on a page. My novel The Darkness Between Us explores psychological horror, supernatural mystery, suspense, and the complicated nature of human relationships. My poetry eBook रा’श - मोहब्बत के बिखरे हुए जज़्बात explores a more intimate side of my writing, touching upon love, longing, heartbreak, and the emotions surrounding an incomplete relationship. I’m also currently working on The Legend of Prak, an ambitious science-fiction project set in an original universe of distant planets, civilizations, extraordinary characters, science, mythology, and adventure. Although my work moves across animation, poetry, psychological horror, and science fiction, the underlying fascination remains the same: human emotion and the limitless possibilities of imagination. For me, storytelling is not simply about telling people what happens. It is about creating something they can see, feel, imagine, and remember.

Mansi Patel

I am a storyteller fascinated by the quiet complexities of being human. I write about love, longing, healing, relationships, and the thoughts we often feel but struggle to put into words. With my interest in psychology and human behaviour, I naturally weave emotional and psychological layers into my stories. I believe stories are more than words on a page, they are little mirrors that make us pause, feel, and sometimes recognize a part of ourselves.

Mara Mansour

I'm a mother of four and a teacher of English, which means I have spent most of my life in the company of stories — my children's, my students', and the ones people carry quietly without ever quite finding the words for them. It's the ones that resist words that interest me most. My writing explores the spaces between what we feel and what we say: the vulnerability of loving someone who might hurt you, the slow and uneven work of healing, the love that finds you in the places you least expected to be found. I don't write about the big dramatic moments so much as what happens in the silences around them — because that, in my experience, is where the real ones live.

Matthew McConville

I’m an indie author from the North West of England, although becoming an author was never actually part of the plan. I started writing Treasures of Danu because I had a story in my head that wouldn’t leave me alone, and somehow that turned into a 500-page adult dark fantasy rooted in Irish mythology. I like horror, humour, found family, complicated characters and stories that get a little darker than expected. When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, listening to an audiobook on my commute, or trying to work out how on earth people are supposed to market a book once they’ve written one.

Melissa D Brace

I’m a Canadian author writing character-driven stories about family, identity, survival, and the complicated things people carry with them. I’m drawn to the quieter parts of people’s lives, the things that shape them long before anyone else realizes there’s a story there. My writing tends to balance emotional depth with sharp observation, dark humour, and a little messiness. I’m interested in flawed people, complicated relationships, and the moments when someone finally begins to see themselves, their past, or the people around them differently. I’m an independent Canadian author, and I’m particularly interested in telling stories that feel emotionally honest rather than neatly resolved. My goal is to write characters who feel like real people: contradictory, imperfect, sometimes difficult, and ultimately human.
