Laura Mita
Laura Mita, a freelance editor, worked as an English Professor teaching mostly composition 1 and 2 to college freshmen and sophomores for 15+ years. While she taught mostly writing classes, her passion is literature. Her favorite types of fiction include fantasy and sci-fi, and even though she should be “grown up,” she loves YA fiction. Every year, she spends time relistening to the Harry Potter and I Am Number Four series. But, her passion for literature is not just in the written word. She loves watching tv and taught a class about television as literature. Some of her favorite shows include Psych, Doctor Who, Chuck, Grimm, LOST (even the ending), Warehouse 13, and Fringe. Really, her favorite books, tv shows, and film include too many to list. Outside of reading and watching television and film, she enjoys traveling and experiencing new places whenever possible with her husband and their two children. (Oh, and of course, she loves language, so she’s been studying Italian for a little over 5 years hoping to one day be able to communicate fluently with her family in Italy.)
Dr. Jenifer Paquette
Author of the Klauden’s Ring Saga and the Conjuring Fascination series, JM Paquette writes fantasy and paranormal romance novels. When she isn’t writing, she can be found teaching English to college students as Dr. Paquette or watching her favorite Russian shifter romance movie, I Am Dragon. Her areas of expertise include the history of the English language and the intricacies of grammatical rules, but her favorite class to teach is on Lord of the Rings. (If you’ve ever wondered why English is a crazy language, watch her video series on YouTube under Editor JMPaquette!) She enjoys editing manuscripts for academic and creative writers alike, and she adores tabletop roleplaying (THAC0, anyone?) where her halfling ranger/Twi’lek adept/vampire wizard/[insert race and class here] is often underestimated. You can also find her guest co-hosting the podcast Drinking with Authors—even though she doesn’t drink, she loves getting to know fellow authors!
