Bio

Welcome to Fiction Rebellion!
We’re two writers obsessed with fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian worlds, strange magic, creepy tech, epic characters, and general book chaos.

👽 I’m Jane McG, a sci-fi author from England, currently building a YA story set in deep space (think danger, secrets, stars, zero gravity drama 🌠).

⚠️ I’m Ellen McKevitt, a dystopian author from Ireland, writing a YA novel in the fictional country of Northam, a place where things are just a little too controlled 👀.

📚 If you’re into writing, world-building, plot twists, or just want to hang out with a couple of nerdy writers… stay with us. 

Hi, a few words from Jane about why she loves sci-fi.

Science fiction, dystopian and fantasy stories have always been my go-to – not just because they’re alien or dark or exciting. It’s because I’d love to be a character in these worlds. I want to feel what it’s like to fly a spaceship, ride a dragon, wield magic, and experience the rich variety of different worlds.

It’s great to see strong female characters becoming popular – think of Princess Leia, Katniss Everdeen, Tris, Sabriel, and Spin – all refusing to back down when everything around them is falling apart and pushing through to the end. But it’s not just the characters. It’s the worlds.

Strange planets. Broken futures. Earth after everything has changed. There’s something thrilling about stepping into a world that feels both terrifying and irresistible, a place where the rules are different.

My love for sci-fi started with Star Wars. As a kid in the ’70s, there was nothing like it—starships, impossible battles, the Force, the rebellion.

It was pure escapism, and my imagination exploded. From there, the genre just swallowed me whole: the neon gloom of Bladerunner, the eerie tension of Alien, the mythical wildness of Legend, and there were so many others Battlestar GalacticaStar TrekDoctor WhoStargate, The Last Starfighter, even the super camp over-the-top Flash Gordon (not the Buster Crabbe black and white version) The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings – the list goes on and on and on.

Then YA arrived: The Hunger GamesDivergentSkywardThe 100 and yes—even Twilight… AWESOME … There are so many to choose from and so many to look forward to. I’m so excited to be here – let’s discuss, share and enjoy.
