Riz Chester: The Evidence Track

R. A. Stephens is a teacher by day, writer,
editor and publisher by night. She is passionate about the written word, what
stories can do to take a reader to a new world and open our eyes to love,
compassion, the bigger picture and much more. When not working, teaching or
writing, she enjoys living in the country and spending time with her kids and
cats.







Em Hammond is an Autistic Artist and Illustrator from
the Hunter region, NSW. She is also a busy mum to three young kids, and a
Speech Pathologist specialising in neurodiversity-affirming practice.
Em loves spending her spare time creating images and
stories that spark imagination and whimsy. She grew up reading the magic that
was Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton, and knew that she wanted to create magic
between pages someday. She definitely spent a lot of time drawing in the
margins of her schoolbooks when she should have been learning about
mathematical concepts.
Em dreams of one day writing and illustrating picture books and middle
grade fiction that shine a bright light onto Neurodivergent characters and
experiences. Books are a special kind of magic and she hopes to make big,
beautiful change in the world with her words and pictures.
