Alex Brown (Writer, Creator, Co-Producer, Etta):

Alex Brown has written many books, and hopes to publish at least one of them someday. She lives in California, though she’s originally from Virginia, where she spent many childhood field trips learning how to make candles in Colonial Williamsburg. She received her BS in Psychology from Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!), and also holds a MS in College Student Personnel.

Recently, she put that psych degree to use and taught her cat how to play fetch. You can follow her on Twitter, where she frequently fangirls over awesome books and podcasts. She's quite proud to be a biracial Filipina-American! Alex is represented by Hannah Fergesen of KT Literary.

Rebecca Mahoney (Writer, Creator, Co-Producer):

Rebecca Mahoney is a New Englander, cloche hat enthusiast, and aspiring sea-witch. She received her BA in East Asian Studies, and spent three years in the wild world of US-Japan relations, where she learned formal Japanese, spent a memorable evening in a diplomatic entourage, and poured a lot of coffee. (These days, she only pours coffee for herself.)

She is currently an academic admin by day, and a writer all the times in-between. You can find her on Twitter here. She is represented by Hannah Fergesen of KT Literary. Rebecca is a 2017 Fellow at the Writers' Room of Boston. Her YA Debut, The Valley and the Flood, will be published by Razorbill in Fall 2020.

Liz Hull (Kate, Writer):

Liz Hull's voice isn't typically heard on the Internet these days, but you can read it in 140 character bits across Firefox and Mozilla social presences, where she works as Social Strategist. It's a good way to make finding great GIFs a full-time job. She lives in Virginia, a state she's always lived in, and works from home with Jake Hull (below) and her dragon of a cat.

Chris Martin (Roger):

Chris Martin was born in a semi-rural town in central Virginia. He studied physics at Virginia Tech, where he met the illustrious and talented co-creator Alex Brown through a residence life student organization. The two explored the world together (if you define "the world" as only six European cities) in the summer of 2010 as part of a study abroad program. Chris later returned to Virginia Tech to complete his master's in secondary education. In a fit of originality, bravery, and an undying sense of adventure, Chris moved all the way to the town adjacent to where he grew up. He now teaches high school physics and lives with his wife and two cats in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

David Picariello (Bertie):

He received his BFA in Theatre Performance from Salem State University in 2017, which is where he met co-creator Alex Brown back in 2013 while she was the director of his residential building, and thus the beginning of a beautiful friendship! When he's not Bertie-ing, you can catch him fully invested in Boston sports, becoming too emotionally attached to fictional television characters, and doing his best to make it as an actor. He currently lives on the north shore of Boston, MA. You can follow him on Twitter here. Follow him and his friends' production company: YouTube.com/PunIntendedPictures

She spends the more boring hours of the day as an administrative assistant for a flooring company.

In between she spent many many years as a designer for regional theatre, television and film including a good decade and a half in NYC.

This, however, ranks up there as one of the coolest things she's ever done. Thanks to Alex for the chance to be a nasty woman.

Molly Woodworth (Graphics - Logo, Merch):

Molly Woodworth somehow received her BFA in graphic design at Virginia Tech, when she wasn’t reading, drinking massive amounts of tea, or designing things that weren’t her assignments. She currently works as a graphic designer for Deloitte, when she isn’t reading, drinking massive amounts of tea, or designing things that aren’t work. She wishes that she lived in England but makes due with the foggy climate of Seattle with her husband, pup named Sebastian (who has modeled for GQ….seriously), and two energetic kitties, Zeke and Zoe. You can check out her work at mollywoodworth.com or if all you care about is seeing her dog, find her on Instagram at mimzsy (because who really cares about anything else).
