Introducing our First Line Grabber GUEST AUTHOR

I'm delighted to announce that our in-house author critique will be offered by the talented J.M. Frey, one of our very own MSFV Success Story authors, and an all-around great gal!

J.M. Frey is an actor, singer, professional geek, and author of the award winning novel TRIPTYCH (Dragon Moon Press). She is also the author of and “The Once and Now-ish King” in WHEN THE HERO COMES HOME (Dragon Moon Press, August 2011), THE DARK SIDE OF THE GLASS (Double Dragon Publishing, June 2012), “Maddening Science” in WHEN THE VILLAIN COMES HOME (Dragon Moon Press, August 2012) and “Whose Doctor?” in DOCTOR WHO IN TIME AND SPACE (McFarland Press, Fall 2012). She holds a BA in Dramatic Literature, where she studied playwriting and traditional Japanese theatre forms, and a Masters of Communications and Culture, where she focused on fanthropology. She is active in the Toronto geek community, presenting at awards ceremonies, appearing on TV, radio, podcasts, live panels and documentaries to discuss all things fandom through the lens of Academia, and has lectured at the Pop Culture Association of America’s Annual Conference (San Francisco), at the University of Cardiff’s ‘Whoniversal Appeal’ Conference, and the Technology and Pedagogy Conference at York University. Frey’s pie-in-the-sky dream is to one day sing a duet with John Barrowman. Twitter: @scifrey
