Ellen Kushner is the author of acclaimed works of literary fantasy, an award-winning audio book narrator and stage performer, the past creator and host of public radio’s national series Sound & Spirit, and a popular teacher and lecturer. She divides her time between New York City, Paris, and anywhere else that will have her. Among her works, Ellen published her first novel in 1987, the cult classic urban fantasy Swordspoint, which was followed in 1990 by Thomas the Rhymer (World Fantasy Award and the Mythopoeic Award), and further novels in her Riverside series.
Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Lincolnshire before heading off to Reading to study psychology and zoology. He subsequently ended up in law and has worked as a legal executive in both Reading and Leeds, where he now lives. Married, he is a keen live role-player and occasional amateur actor and has trained in stage-fighting. He's the author of Children of Time, the winner of the 30th Anniversary Arthur C. Clarke Award, and the Sunday Times bestseller Shards of Earth. House of Open Wounds - the follow up novel to his triumphant fantasy novel City of Last Chances - is published on 7 December.
Chaired by Matthew Sangster, co-director of the University of Glasgow's Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic and author of An Introduction to Fantasy (2023). He is guest curator of the British Library exhibition Fantasy: Realms of Imagination.
