Matt Bryden's poetry is widely published in the UK. His pamphlet, Night Porter, which documents life in a Yorkshire hotel, was a winner of the 2010 Templar Poetry Pamphlet and Collection competition; his first full collection, Boxing the Compass, was published in 2013. His versions of the Taiwanese poet Ami have appeared in Modern Poetry in Translation. In 2012, he toured The Captain's Tower, performing on guitar and reading poetry, at venues across the UK including the Latitude festival.
Rosie Rowell was born and grew up in Cape Town, South Africa. These days she lives in West Sussex with her husband and three children, foolishly swopping sunshine and sea for mud and sheep. Leopold Blue (2014) is her first novel.
May-Lan Tan grew up in Hong Kong and lived in Northern California before moving to London. She holds a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths. Her fiction has appeared in Zoetrope: All-Story, Areté, and The Reader. Her debut collection, Things to Make and Break (2014), is published by CB editions.
Jeremy Worman's short stories and poems have been published widely; his reviews have appeared in many publications, including The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph and the TLS. He won the Cinnamon Press short story competition in 2009 and the Multi-Storey/BBC Radio Manchester competition in 2002. Fragmented, an autobiographical collection of stories about London, was published in 2011 by Cinnamon Press, who will also publish Swimming with Diana Dors and other Stories in June 2014. He has degrees in English from London University and Cambridge University and will finish the MA in Creative and Life Writing at Goldsmiths in September 2014. He taught English Literature to American BA students at Birkbeck for over twenty years and is taking a short sabbatical.
