 Paris Thompson - Senior EditorList Item 2As a devoted lover of escaping reality, Paris always has a book in hand, reading aloud on her phone, or taking shape on her laptop. She is guided by her passion to create a nurturing space for authors to prosper and shine as they entrust her with their written worlds. She enjoys anything fictional but has a soft spot for romantasy and found family tropes. When she isn't reading or editing, she is learning Italian or crocheting.

 Jarrod - Scientific Consultant – Astrophysics & TechnologyList Item 3With a bachelor’s degree in engineering and a master’s degree in astrophysics, Jarrod has spent years exploring the mysteries of the universe, including the discovery of his first exoplanet in 2022. His research in material sciences for air and spacecraft, combined with his work using space-bound satellites to study distant worlds, gives him a well-rounded background in both technology and astronomy. He joined SNP in early 2025 and quickly found his place helping authors bring scientific depth and realism to their stories. A lifelong sci-fi and fantasy enthusiast, Jarrod loves dissecting the science behind space operas and epic worlds alike. When he’s not reading or consulting, you’ll find him chatting with friends about new discoveries or getting lost in Tolkien’s legends.
