Britney Shae Brouwer grew up wanting to be a lawyer and an author so it makes sense that she first drafted SHE'S A KNOCKOUT while studying for the Bar Exam. Now an editor of court opinions, Britney lives in Columbus, Ohio with her fiancé and rescue dog. When she's not writing, she's usually found drinking tea and watching ice hockey. Annie is inspired both by the power and strength of female MMA fighters and the incredible women that Britney worked with during an internship in the male-dominated world of the National Hockey League.
Ben Sanders hasn’t stopped drawing since he was a kid. Decades later he still draws . . . and he’s still a kid. Ben lived in the High Andes of Bolivia for several years but his studio can now be found somewhere in Australia. He really dislikes beetroot, so please don’t offer him any.

Bee Chuck grew up in Yorkshire and graduated from Falmouth School of Art and in 2020 with a first class degree in Illustration. Bee identifies as non-binary and their preferred pronouns are they/them. Their main inspirations are children’s drawings, nature and their desire to make the world a better place through art. Bee loves being outdoors and filling their sketchbooks with drawings of all sorts of flowers, birds, insects and plants which inspire and populate their narrative illustration. Bee’s biggest influence growing up was their grandma Mary, who is a poet and an artist and encouraged Bee to create, draw and paint in all sorts of different mediums and styles.
