Madison Rae Stoner
(she/her)
Madison Rae Stoner is a queer writer, editor, and librarian living in Toronto. She is the co-founder of Bloom Writers’ Collective, a space for women, trans, and non-binary folks to share their writing and give and get feedback. Madison graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master of Information, concentrating on Library and Information Science, in 2021. She is slowly working on a novel and hopes you’ll stick around to read it.

Nic Brewer (she/they)
Nic Brewer is a queer writer and editor from Toronto. For four years, she co-managed the micropress words(on)pages and produced the literary magazine (parenthetical) as well as chapbooks by emerging writers. She writes fiction, mostly; her first novel, Suture, was published by Book*hug Press in Fall 2021. She doesn’t look like her author photo, doesn’t have an MFA, and really wants to hear about what you love most in the world.

Frond acknowledges that it is based in Tkaronto, the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Tkaronto and the surrounding area is still home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. By acknowledging the past, present, and future Indigenous persons living on this land, we aim to aid in the continued effort of decolonization across this land known as Canada.
Frond acknowledges the work of the many regional and national organizations working in support of urban and remote Indigenous communities in Canada; the Native Youth Sexual Health Network provides resources, advocacy, and education for Indigenous communities, including Two-Spirit and LGBTTIQ youth outreach.
