Authors:
Heike Auer  is a graduate of the Joint Masters Programme in English and American Studies (JDEAS).  She is a linguistics enthusiast and published short fiction author with roots in Austria, heart in Scotland, and mind ever dreaming of distant lands. Always carries a pencil, a book, and a deep love for all living things as she captures the beauty of the small wonders of life in her writing and photography. Thrives on open-minded discourse and storytelling, particularly at home, surrounded by cats, blankets, and light.

Filippo Bagnasco  is a graduate of the Joint Masters Programme in English and American Studies (JDEAS). He is Italian, a bit Canadian, lives in Austria and feels at home nowhere and everywhere. He is currently pursuing his PhD in American Studies at Graz University, dividing his time between university work, reading as much as he can, writing when he doesn’t hate it, and working at bars and coffee shops because, despite his love for writing, he still has to put money in his bank account.

Viktoriia Grivina is a writer and cultural researcher from Kharkiv, Ukraine. She writes personalized essays and short stories and is now working on a series of humorous stop-motion animations, Kharkiv Legends. Her current PhD research at St Andrews University is dedicated to the mythological and aesthetic transformations of public spaces in Ukraine in times of war.
