People
Ruben Aleman
Ruben is a web developer by trade, having worked in academic libraries and publishing presses. He has loved creative writing since he was young, but his love of reading has been his guiding star. In reading short fiction, he has found a lack of pieces at the intersection of literary and speculative, pieces that are strange but explore deep, complex ideas. Those are the pieces he wants to see!
Miv Rosser
Miv is an artist (under the moniker RosserSaucer) and designer based in Japan who believes curiosity is one of the gentlest forms of rebellion. Their work explores stillness and the calm excavation of both our imagination and our surroundings. Through illustration and community projects, they cultivate spaces that invite others to slow down and view the familiar with fresh eyes.
Miv developed and illustrated Anoris, our mascot character, and refined our color palette.
