Co-founder Shannon Des Roches Rosa lives tantalizingly close to San Francisco, but doesn’t visit nearly often enough (and retrieving her handsome spouse from his workplace does not count). When she is not running herd on three darling but challenging children, she picks nits out of other writers’ work and occasionally even writes herself. She will never surrender her serial commas.

Co-founder Jennifer Byde Myers has two modes: “Go! Go! Go!” and “Sleep.” Raised in Huntington Beach, CA, behind the Orange Curtain, Jennifer escaped to U.C. Berkeley for college and has now firmly planted herself in the Bay Area. She spends her days as wife, mother, sister, friend, and daughter while trying to maintain a sense of self, save the world, and make dinner. In between she writes for large corporations and for personal catharsis. She believes Scrabble should always be served with a sparkling wine.
