In 2016 she published her memoir, Cheer Up Love: Adventures in Depression with the Crab of Hate.

Jenny Colgan has written twenty-five novels under her own name and, as Jenny T. Colgan, has published extensively in the Doctor Who universe, including the novels In the Blood and Dark Horizons, and the Big Finish audio drama Time Reaver, starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

Jacqueline Rayner has written many books, audioplays and comic strips, many of them set in the world of Doctor Who, including the number one bestseller The Stone Rose and two 'Quick Reads' for World Book Day. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked at BBC Books as an editor on their Doctor Who range.

Dorothy Koomson is the award-winning author of twelve novels. Her third book, My Best Friend's Girl, was selected for the Richard & Judy Summer Reads of 2006 and sold more than 500,000 copies. Since her early days of buying comics and working in a well-known comic store, Dorothy has been a die-hard science fiction fan, so she was delighted to work on this anthology.
