Heath McKenzie is a best-selling illustrator from Melbourne. His work has appeared in children’s books, magazines (for all ages), novels, cover art, ad campaigns, and even jewellery. Horror stories generally scare him though he loves them nonetheless - particularly zombie and monster-based fare. On the other hand, he can't resist and bright and sugary musical either... all this plus a tremendously varied music soundtrack tends to affect and inspire his work.

Tristan Bancks tells stories for the page and screen. His books for kids and teens include Two Wolves, The Fall, Detention and the Tom Weekly series. Two Wolves won Honour Book in the 2015 Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards and was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. The Fall was a CBCA Notable Book and shortlisted for the Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature. Tristan’s books have also been recognised in multiple children’s choice awards. Tristan is a writer-ambassador for literacy charity Room to Read. He is currently working with producers to develop several of his books for the screen. He’s excited by the future of storytelling and inspiring others to create.
