Alex Slusar
Brent Moore grew up reading books and dreaming of writing his own one day. Raised in
Ontario, he worked in Asia for several years and currently calls Moose Jaw home. His writing imagines what it will be like for young men growing up with the next generation of social media and augmented reality technology.
Gayle Nemeth’s career as a writer follows years of teaching in northern and southern Saskatchewan and, most recently, as an English as a Second Language instructor. She published her first short story, “Snowbird,” in the 2022 edition of the Saskatchewan Writers Guild magazine, Spring and was granted a Wallace Stegner writers residency in 2023. Her CNF story “The Blizzard” was the winner of the December 2024 Off Topic Publishing writing contest. Her completed manuscript, entitled The Will, awaits publication. When she’s not writing, she’s often riding. Gayle resides in Treaty Six territory and the homeland of the Metis Nation, Northeast Saskatchewan.
