Halle Merrick (she/they) is the founding editor of Haunted Words Press. She could also very well be a ghost that occasionally haunts the Cornish and Somerset countryside - we're still trying to find evidence that says otherwise.

She is primarily a YA writer, often of Sapphic witches existing in times and worlds that do not care for Sapphics or witches. They are currently an Associate Lecturer of Creative Writing at Falmouth University, while continuing manuscript writing and editing of stories featuring Sapphics, witches, and Sapphic witches.

They would very much like to live in a haunted house with a legion of ghost cats one day, but for now resides in the void with the other ghouls, and one very much alive kitten. 

You can find them on Instagram @hallemaem, or her website, hallemerrick.com.

Charlotte Razzino (she/her) hails from Connecticut, USA, and crossed the Atlantic to complete a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. 

She writes mostly about teenagers getting themselves into trouble and using little bits of magic to get themselves out, contemporary fantasy and middle-grade short prose. 

Aside from writing, she spends her time reading comic books, following stray cats around town and chasing down theater tickets.

Rupert is the actual editor-in-chief of Haunted Words Press, and in charge of many important things. He does not know how to write, but does scream into the void to assemble armies of ghosts and ghouls quite often. You can find him staring out of windows, attacking felt bats, and howling for food and attention at all hours of the day (even while receiving both).
