Our Founders
Jerusha René
co-founder/ceo
Jerusha (she/her) is a sci-fi and fantasy writer who lives in sunny California. She is the CEO for WriteHive. Her short story, Pandora's Attic, was published in the charity anthology Autumn Nights. She seeks to promote equality, healthy relationships, and environmentalism in her stories. Aside from writing, Jerusha is a blackbelt in karate and enjoys video games, water painting, and spending time with her puppy.
Dakota Rayne
co-founder/CFO
Dakota is a developmental editor, small business owner, and mental health professional. They grew up in a culture that valued oral storytelling and found families. In realizing they were a bit of a misfit in a misunderstood world, they dedicated their life to helping individuals tell their story, in hopes that we can learn and grow from each others' experiences. This led to them forming Inked in Gray Press, a small press dedicated to raw, authentic storytelling.
rowan zeoli
co-founder/coo
Rowan Zeoli is a developmental editor, ghostwriter, book coach, and activist. They firmly believe stories are what bring people together and are how we can imagine a new, better world. The more stories we have, the more voices we have telling those stories from their own unique perspective, the better off the world will be for it.
