Interests: Fantasy, sci-fi, literature, historical, supernatural
Bio: I am a PhD student studying Creative Writing with an emphasis in
Fiction. I have been taking workshops for eight years now, though the
more I learn the more I realize I still have to learn. I have written
numerous short stories and poems. I’m currently working on a novel
about a man who is raised in America but returns to his native Hungary
after his grandfather’s death, where he learns about his family’s
secrets from the Communist era and becomes involved in life in the
town. In my free time, I’m also working on a series of fantasy
sword-and-sorcery stories set in an alternative past ten thousand
years ago. I also have a cyberpunk and a young adult fantasy novel in
various stages of uncompletion. Some of my favorite writers are
William Gibson, Robert E. Howard, Leo Tolstoy, and Sherman Alexie
(which may be the most eclectic list of favorite writers ever
compiled).

Interests: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Fiction, Poetry
Bio: I am a senior English major with a minor in religious studies. I
am very much into poetry, fiction, and any other kind of writing. My
thesis project is a fantasy story that is exploring post-colonial
themes in ways that complicate our own recent history. I am a
Nebraska native and also the Editor of the Plains Song Review
magazine, based out of the Great Plains Studies department. I also
have experience in independent publishing, so feel free to ask me
about that if you have questions. I am a full-time nerd and in my
spare time, I enjoy biking, video games, eating sushi, and sleeping
(all other time is spent writing!).

Interests: Novel-length fiction, short stories, fairy tales
Bio: I’m a sophomore English major. I have experimented with writing
several novels, and am currently revising the outlines of a few of
them--in particular, one about a girl who runs away from home and gets
lost in a neighborhood where strange things begin to happen, and one
in which the characters are aware they live in a novel and rebel
against the author’s plot. I am also a regular contributor to Gilbert
Magazine, and have been working on short stories loosely in the style
of classic fairy tales for publication there.

Interests: Screenplays, short fiction, slam poetry
Bio: I'm a Freshman Film Studies major. I mainly focus my writing on
screenplays, but often dabble in absurd short stories and slam poetry.
Though I find it difficult to finish many of these projects, it's nice
to have so many ideas lying around that I can borrow from and combine.
Currently, I'm working on a dark comedy screenplay, which has been
well over a year in the making. A more recent project involves the
tale of a serial killer told in the killer's words himself. In the
past, I participated in a literary magazine critiquing poetry and
short stories. My favorite authors are Stephen King, HP Lovecraft, and
Sherman Alexie.

Interests: poetry short stories micro fiction fantasy sci fi
Bio: Hello all. I'm a junior english major with a concentration in
creative writing and a minor in sociology and another minor that is
tbd. I am very interested in reading any and all kinds of writing. I
am particularly interested in the concept of "story-telling" and how
oral stories translate to written ones. I currently write poetry that
has no rhyme and very little reason and am playing a lot with micro
fiction that always ends up turning out to be some sort of
medical/psychological/sci fi thriller. I often frequent the dog park
with a borrowed dog.
