Shannon Watters is a writer and editor living in Los Angeles, CA. She’s co-creator and cowriter of the award-winning hit comic book series Lumberjanes, and the graphic novel, Hollow. She is also a former senior editor and the former founder/head of BOOM! Box line at BOOM! Studios, the imprint behind critically acclaimed comics and graphic novels like Giant Days, The Backstagers, Lumberjanes, Fence, Goldie Vance, Heavy Vinyl, The Avant-Guards, and many, many others. She loves vintage nonsense, cooking elaborate meals, and funny words.
Grace Ellis is a New York Times–bestselling, GLAAD Media Award–winning script writer. Her graphic novels include the much-lauded Lumberjanes; the long-running Moonstruck; and several books for DC Comics. Her book, Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith, won the 2023 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work and was a New York Times Notable Book of 2022.
A born and bred Midwesterner, Grace lives in Columbus, Ohio where she can often be found eating ice cream or petting an animal.
Gus Allen is co-creator and original illustrator of the Lumberjanes series. Any rumors you may have heard about him such as "he's not real", "he's just 3 possums stacked on top of each other in a trench coat" and "he's actually really nice when you get to know him" are patently false. He was last seen being a very normal human person in Richmond, VA (which does coincidentally have a large possum population).
Kat Leyh has been co-writer of Lumberjanes since issue 18 and cover artist since issue 24. Growing up in the woods, attending 4-H camp in the summers, and creating comics about supernatural queer characters have all led to her feeling right at home with the Lumberjanes! She's done various short comics for series like Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors; her own series, Supercakes; and upcoming graphic novel, Roadkill Witch. When not making comics, she loves to cook, travel and explore!
