He is currently pitching one novel, finishing another, and working as a lead narrative designer for a small game development project while penning comics. When he’s not writing or reading, you can find him gaming, cooking, hiking, traveling, or out at a show somewhere. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. He’s always open to new projects and loves talking writing, so feel free to reach out!

Kevin D. Lintz is a comic book letterer, writer, and editors. He learned his skills in a Comics Experience class and honed them on the mean streets of his all-ages comic book, Team SLUG. He startles his family by making sound effect noises out loud to try and translate them into written words. He has even watched “Helvetica”, the full-length feature movie about the font Helvetica.

Christian De Matteo is a writer and college professor, founder of Tellworthy.com and co-founder of FugitivePoems.com with artist-extraordinaire James Lines. He loves all forms of art and entertainment, enjoys long walks on the beach and other less sandy locations, and is fatally allergic to fluffy cats (in case you wanted to get rid of him). He can be found pontificating/dad-joking on Twitter: @CDMetc and @FugitivePoems. He cannot draw. Like at all.

Gabe Martini is a Venezuelan illustrator and aspiring comic artist based in London, England, with a passion for fantasy, science fiction, horror, and pretty much anything weird. You can find his work at https://www.instagram.com/electricgabe or at his Twitter, https://twitter.com/gabethefaun

Mac Teg has been making art professionally for over 15 years. He grew up on fantasy, horror, and sci-fi films and comics of the 1970s and 80s. With his passion for illustration, it was inevitable that he would use that imagery to inspire the creatures he creates. Now he helps indie tabletop RPG/board/card game makers take their games to the next level with clean old school inspired character and monster art. Come see his work at https://www.macteg.com/

Tom Lynott lives in Arizona with his adorable wife, two boys and a Corgi / Border Collie Mix named Ace. He took part in an introduction to lettering comics class in May 2021 through Comics Experience. Since then he has been honing his lettering skills on any comic scripts and art he can get his hands onto.
