Rhiannon Argo is a writer and schooled librarian. She is the author of two works of literary fiction: the Lambda award-winning novel The Creamsickle and the YA-ish novel Girls I’ve Run Away With. Her stories and novels have inspired both short films and German translations. Argo has performed her work in a plethora of bars, colleges, feminist squats, bookstores, and libraries. She has criss-crossed North America and Europe with the Sister Spit Literary Performance Tours enough times to have once acquired a mild case of scurvy. She also tours with her own band of literary renegades, the Moon Babes. Argo has been both a Lambda Literary and Radar Lab Fellow and will be a 2014 Djerassi artist in residence. She is the founder of Moonshine Press, and co-founder of the Que(e)rySF, a collective that throws parties to raise funds for hidden queer library collections.

Dimitrov is also the founder of Wilde Boys, a queer poetry salon in New York City. His poems have been published in Poetry, The Yale Review, Kenyon Review, Slate, Poetry Daily, Tin House, Boston Review, and the American Poetry Review, which awarded him the Stanley Kunitz Prize in 2011. He is the Content Editor at the Academy of American Poets and teaches creative writing at Rutgers University.

Skye Allen is the author of Pretty Peg, a queer young adult fantasy novel set in Oakland. She has had short fiction published in Toasted Cheese Literary Journal and Of Dragons and Magic: Tales of the Lost Worlds and poetry in Insomnia and Sinister Wisdom.
