Dustin Bilyk

Dustin is a prolific short story writer and novelist, as well as the Lead Editor of the Author's Hand. When he's not perfecting the works of others, he's writing Grimdark Epic Fantasy, and has been doing so since he first read the works of Joe Abercrombie and GRR Martin.

He published the first fantasy novel in the Tallindran Trilogy, The Librarian Gladiator, in March of 2024. With a novella coming out in April, and Book Two arriving on the shelves in early 2025, he's been busy at work in the writing chair, exploring his worlds and reveling in the fact that others will join him when he's done.

Dustin also runs the Worldstone Publishing house and produces the Summer of Sci-Fi & Fantasy annually. Each volume features 20+ incredible stories and the same numbers of established authors who specialize in the two genres.

Dustin has a Frenchie-Pug named Bilbo, and lives an enthusiastically full and wonderful life in the Canadian North.
