Team

Laurie Raye

Elidir Jones
Welsh Language Editor

After an ill-advised six years as a struggling stand-up comedian, Elidir Jones finally worked out that being a full-time genre writer in the Welsh language was sure to bring in unimaginable riches. He has since dabbled in high-concept sci-fi (Y Porthwll), horror (the upcoming series Hen Hunllefau), and fantasy (the Wales Book of the Year award-winning Chwedlau’r Copa Coch). Originally from Bangor, he has settled in one of Dr William Price’s roundhouse cottages in Pontypridd, and spends most of his time with his very tolerant wife and a near-feral rescue dog from Arizona.

Llŷr Titus
Welsh Language Editor

Llŷr is a writer and beekeeper from the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales. His Young Adult science fiction novel Gwalia won the Tir Na-Nog prize in 2016. He was one of the founding editors of Y Stamp literary magazine and occasionally does silly things on stage with Cwmni Tebot a community theatre troupe that he set up with two friends.
