“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” — Confucius

Monique Snyman’s mind is a confusing bedlam of glitter and death, where candy-coated gore is found in abundance and homicidal unicorns thrive. Sorting out the mess in her head is particularly irksome before she’s ingested a specific amount of coffee, which is equal to half the recommended intake of water for humans per day. When she’s not playing referee to her imaginary friends or trying to overdose on caffeine, she’s doing something with words — be it writing, reading or editing.

Monique Snyman lives in Pretoria, South Africa, with her husband, daughter and an adorable Chihuahua. She’s the author of the Bram Stoker Award® nominated novels, The Night Weaver and The Bone Carver, and the South African adult horror novel, Dark Country.

As a recent graduate from The Fashion Institute of Technology, Kendall has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration, a minor in Creative Writing and an unhealthy obsession with the Fantasy Adventure books that fueled her way through school.

Kendall previously worked at an Independent Bookstore in Brooklyn, NY, experiencing as much as she could about the publishing industry. Now at MMMG, she hopes to bring everything she learned about book trends, social media and industry communication into play as she dips her toes into the world of publishing and publicity.

When she isn’t reading, Kendall spends her free time drawing, listening to True Crime Podcasts and spending an unnecessary amount of time online shopping.
