Meet the recommended writers of January 2024
Our twenty-second group of recommended writers was not only the first group of 2024 but also the first time we sadly had to put a limit on the number of writers getting promotion a month to make sure things were still manageable and there was good quality promotion for all our writers. This month we were filled up fast, with returning and new writers getting promotion. Check them all out now!
(Returning) Miranda McTier
Canadian Paranormal Writer
Hello. I'm Miranda McTier. I'm a mom of three and had been writing as a hobby for most of my young life. I stopped for a while to have a family, but I started again 2021. Since then, I've been having a great time creating a world in my head and putting it into words. My world centers around wolf shifters, but is constantly expanding with every book I write. I do have a job outside as a steel press operator, and having fun with my family is a favorite pass time. I do love creativity and sharing it with everyone. I'm so happy to meet people and see what their creative minds think up. So, nice to meet all of you, and I can't wait to see what you have.
(Returning) Elicia Roper
Writer of heartwarming and emotional novels with mental health rep
I have been writing for over 30 years, but professionally for 5 years. I have been steadily a contemporary romance writer, but I am branching out into different sub-genres of romance. I am trying to center in on being a romance author with the focal point of my stories focusing around my Jewish faith. More of a secular and culturally dynamic, I hope I can showcase Jewish characters in a main character love interest role, rather than the stereotype I’ve always seen people have my community represented by.
When I’m not writing, I read and I take care of my son and husband. My life outside of writing is rather mundane. So, writing is as exciting as I get. As for the kind of content I typically cover can be considered triggering to some readers. I like to introduce not glorify, gloss over, mock, or overindulge in topics that may offend of harm someone else. But, I try to show people realistic struggles that many people face in their lives. That could include peer bullying, irresponsible self-harm, mental illness, etc. Most of my material are not meant for readers

(Returning) J. Alleyn Winchester
Literary & Spiritual Fantasy Author
J. Alleyn Winchester is the author of Artemis of the Dodekatheon and Nature Calls, Spring. Listening to his father play on his guitar before reading bedtime stories from the Children’s Book of Virtues, Aesop’s Fables, or The Chronicles of Narnia was a beloved bedtime ritual. He fell in love with how myth and lore shaped generations of cultures and studied storytelling from literary, theatrical, and spiritual perspectives from a young age. They inspired him to write his own tales, starting with one page shorts that would grow into a few chapters. In middle school, he found that stories helped him navigate the complexities of growing up with depression, anxiety, and alternative world views. When he was sixteen, he began developing three, far-reaching series that would later be called The Triad Sagas, two of which were Dodekatheon and Nature Calls. He married his high school sweetheart and muse who shares his love of storytelling with their feline familiar, Archibald. Together, they hope the Imaginings Universe plants new seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of generations now and to come.
