I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Tamás Rojik was born in 1988, in Kecskemét. After the initial training of the SZTE he obtained a degree in Hungarian teacher-historical history at ELTE. In 2021 he was a young writer of the year in the shortlist of HUBBY. The youth novel Dryness focuses on the threats caused by climate change, on the difficulties of adolescence integration and road searching, but also on the problem of social tensions. The novel takes place in Hungary in the 1950s after the climate disaster. Dani and Aniko have to deal with the power to regulate everyday life and the dangers of water scarcity in the country at the same time.
Annamária Hódossy (1969) is a university professor and researcher. At the beginning of his career, he was a member of the DeKON group in Szeged mainly dealing with literary theoretical issues. As a member of the Department of Visual Culture and Literature Theory, he deals with visual culture and the relationship between thinking about nature and its popular culture.

Zsófia Bálint is a PhD student of SZTE BTK, blogger every now and then, leader of the study group and enthusiastic youth literature, puppet theatre, fantasy and many other fans. He always liked to read, and the management of Future readers (where they deal with books and topics related to nature conservation, eco- and climate disasters) has become one of his favorite activities in the last year.
