2018 CONTRIBUTORS
CASSIDY AYERS
Writer: Enchanted Blooms
Ever since she first picked up a book, Cassidy Ayers has been bewitched by the fantasy genre and how it can be twisted and reimagined to enthrall new generations. Throughout her school years, she had her nose in a book (much to her teachers’ irritation) and she’s made it her goal to someday write her own. In her first original story, “Enchanted Blooms”, you’ll be whisked into a world where modernity and mysticism coexist and anything could happen.

Alan Codner is a senior Creative Writing major and Studio Art minor from upstate New York. His favorite things include B horror movies, surreal art, and chocolate ice cream. While he enjoys paint and digital illustration, his favorite things to use are just a basic ballpoint pen and some crappy computer paper. He draws simply because he lacks the good sense not to.
