Jade has a short story published in the online journal Coffin Bell. She is more of a novelist, but finds horror or extremely tense short stories to be irresistibly fun.

Devin (she/her) is a product of every horror movie she’s ever seen and every bad pun she’s ever heard. In her free time, she enjoys the type of music that makes Spotify recommend you its “sad girl starter pack” playlist and re-reading the entirety of the works of Neil Gaiman. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, writing fiction and poetry and doing her best to soak in the magic and gore of everyday existence. Her work has been featured in Broken Antler Monthly, Haunted Words Press, Short Vine Literary Magazine, and Transients Magazine.

Milla (she/her) is a poet and student of the world around her. She is a fourth-year English major with a creative writing minor at The Ohio State University and works as a remote intern for Featherproof Books in Chicago. She enjoys listening to albums beginning to end, taking photos of stemless flowers on the street, and walking everywhere within a 35-minute radius. Her work is forthcoming in The Afterpast Review.

Lexi (she/her) is a fourth-year English and Psychology major at The Ohio State University.

For now, she writes short stories with the hopes of someday producing something longer.

Addie is a recent graduate from Ohio State, where she majored in environmental policy with a minor in creative writing. This love for the outdoors inspires much of her writing, which often leans into nature, and sometimes something spookier. She enjoys writing poetry, short stories, and maybe one day something longer.

Faith (she/her) is a third year English Creative Writing and psychology major at The Ohio State University. Her personality is a combination of every fictional character she’s ever loved and her writing is inspired by the (too) many horror movies that she’s ever seen. Her love of reading and writing has persisted throughout her whole life, as has her love for any form of storytelling and her pets. She mostly writes short fiction, usually in the horror and literary fiction genres, with a first novel currently in the works.

Anna (she/they) is a second-year English Creative Writing major at OSU. She sticks to poetry, prose, short stories, and is very fond of bittersweet endings. In their free time, Anna bakes sweet treats and the occasional sourdough loaf, holds the title of most amateur photographer, and crochets to audiobooks, allowing the 86-year-old librarian within her to be appeased.
