The Moon's Gorgonzola

Debra Bertulis has been a writer of poetry, plays and stories since she was very young. When she was ten, her mother bought her a typewriter to type her stories on and she’s been writing ever since. Her poems appear in many anthologies as well as on the LAMDA examination syllabus and are performed at Festivals across the world. Her debut collection of children’s poetry Where Do Wishes Go was published in 2022 by Otter-Barry Books. Zoe Williams graduated from Bath Spa University in 2022 with an honours degree in English Literature and Publishing. Scared?, published by Troika in 2022, was Zoe’s first published work of illustrations. An aspiring artist from day one, Zoe could always be found drawing, creating, and thinking about new ideas. She received a sixth-form arts scholarship, which inspired her to illustrate stories herself, focusing on her love of drawing by creating quirky characters and scenarios. Zoe is now at Bristol studying for a Master’s in graphic arts. Zoe plans to pursue a career as a freelance illustrator and hopes to contribute to more books in future.
