Jennifer Hayden is the author and artist of the Eisner-nominated breast cancer memoir The Story of My Tits.  Having just finished a graphic travel novella about her unhealthy relationship with France, she is currently at work on a graphic anti-cookbook called Where There’s Smoke There’s Dinner.   https://jenniferhayden.com

Lisa Lim is a comic storyteller born and raised in Queens, New York. Her work has been featured in Guernica, PANK, The Rumpus, PEN America, and Mutha Magazine. Her short illustrated story, “The Hunger” was featured in an anthology edited by Joyce Carol Oates, Cutting Edge: New Stories of Mystery and Crime by Women Writers.

Amy Reeder hails from the superhero/action world of comics, working with characters including Madame Xanadu, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batwoman, and Moon Girl. You’ll also find her creating independent series like Image’s Rocket Girl…and if you look far back enough, you may even spot a Tokyopop credit in there. She also co-created the new Moon Girl for Marvel, who will soon be starring in her own cartoon series on Disney+. Amy draws interiors and covers, she writes, she colors, and she letters. To her, every part of the process is inextricably linked to relaying her ideas to an audience.   instagram.com/amyreedercomics
