As also detailed in the press release,
“Darcie Little Badger is a Lipan Apache writer with a PhD in oceanography. Her critically acclaimed debut novel, Elatsoe, was featured in TIME as one of the best 100 fantasy books of all time. Elatsoe also won the Locus award for Best First Novel and was a finalist for the Nebula, Ignyte, and Lodestar Awards. Her second fantasy novel, A Snake Falls to Earth, received the Newbery Honor, was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize, and was longlisted for the National Book Awards.

Jasmine Walls
Jasmine’s graphic novel Brooms (with illustrator Teo DuVall) is scheduled for publication in October 2023. Brooms “brings readers into an alternate magical history of the US South, telling the story of a team of trailblazing broom-racing witches.”
From the press release:
“Jasmine Walls is a writer, artist, and editor with former lives in professional baking and teaching martial arts. She still bakes (though she’s pretty rusty at martial arts) and has a deep love for storytelling, creating worlds, and building tales about the characters who inhabit them. She has works published with DC, Webtoon, Boom! Studios, Capstone, Oni Press, The Atlantic, and The Nib. Her graphic novel The Last Session was one of the NYPL’s 50 Best Books for Teens in 2022, and is on YALSA’s Great Graphic Novels for Teens list. She lives in California with two dogs and a large stash of quality hot chocolate.”
Jasmine will be speaking at the programs Unstoppable Forces (Friday, 7/21, 4pm @ San Diego Central Library) and Creators Assemble (Saturday, 7/22, 4pm @ Marriott Marquis Marina D).
