Zan (ze/they) is a neurodivergent, disabled queer located in Richmond, VA (as of this book's publication). Ze received a BFA in Creative Writing in 2012 and a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Sociolinguistics in 2014. Rather than finish zir masters program, however, ze decided to ditch academia life and work with shelter dogs instead. Ze has spent the past decade learning everything ze can about dog behavior (in particular the intersection of health and behavior) in order to help dogs of all kinds and the people who love them.
