Notre équipe | Our Team

Olivia Shan (she/her) is a McGill undergraduate student pursuing a double major in English Literature and History. She has been a part of the ImaginAtlas team since 2019 and is beyond thrilled to help bring the publication to a wider audience. Inspired by Tolkien and Le Guin, she is interested in epic fantasy, historically-inclined works of SF&F, and has a special fondness for stories involving doomed polar expeditions.

Catherine Hall (she/her) holds a Master’s in Fantasy Literature from the University of Glasgow, specializing in J.R.R. Tolkien and Fan Studies. Her love of fantasy and science fiction began when she read Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings as a child. To this day, he remains her favourite author, and she is particularly interested in his work and its connection to Old English literature. When she is not busy with her research, you can find her snuggled up with a good book and a large cup of tea.

Magdalena Nitchi (she/her) has an MA in English literature, with specializations in diaspora and transnational studies and sexual diversity studies. She has written an undergraduate thesis on Canadian science fiction and is also interested in comics and print culture. Her love of all things strange and supernatural was cemented by Stephen King’s work, and he remains one of her favourite authors. She is interested in sci-fi, fantasy, and everything in between, and is a voracious reader in both English and French.

Fred Azeredo (he/him) is a Brazilian writer and director based in Montreal. Beside his work for ImaginAtlas, his original works for stage and radio include the serial Sojourns at CKUT FM, People v. MacDougall at the McGill Drama Festival, The Electric Inferno at TNC Theatre, and Nirvana at Montreal Fringe After Dark. His latest play, Pindorama, was produced at the 2024 Montreal Fringe Festival by MBC Productions, an independent company which he co-founded with Alice Wu and Dana Prather. He has at last embraced his identity as ‘the comics guy’ at ImaginAtlas and writes the Issue of the Month column in that capacity.

Salma Galal (she/her) is a second-year undergraduate student at McGill University, double majoring in Psychology and English Literature.  She has been an avid writer since she was seven years old.  She is particularly interested in the philosophy of time travel, and how intertextuality ties dramatically different works together.  Her favourite stories include the majority of Edgar Allan Poe’s writing and Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Imogen Chambers (she/her) is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Linguistics and Russian at McGill University. Her love of the speculative extends to all forms of media, and she believes that the weirder, darker, or more uncanny that media is, the better. Imogen is particularly fond of twentieth-century sci-fi literature, Weird and New Weird fiction, and anything with post-apocalyptic themes. Fair warning: mention The Last Of Us or Coraline around her at your own peril…you may be there a while.

Étudiante à l’UQAM, Mounia se passionne de littérature et d’animation depuis qu’elle est toute petite. Ses goûts pour les mangas et les animes l’ont amené à poursuivre un baccalauréat multidisciplinaire, dans lequel elle étudie présentement la langue et la culture japonaise.
