The team:

Fred Nolan—Founding Editor

Fred is a two-time Pushcart nominee, and fears that three times is a charm because in that case he would have to give a reading. He is the author of Alexei and the Second Empress and various short stories, published by Riggwelter Press, Gingerbread House Magazine and others. He has nearly two decades of technical writing experience and once published a course with the American Institute of Architects. Find a list of his published works here.

Wendy Garfinkle—Editor

Wendy is a writer, freelance editor and manuscript designer with more than 15 years’ experience. Her repertoire includes newspapers, court transcripts, depositions, nonprofit grants, technical manuals, essays, blogs, a religious newsletter, and manuscripts for multiple Indie publishers.

She holds undergraduate minors in Theatre and Mass Communications from Midwestern State University, as well as MA and MFA degrees in Creative Writing from Wilkes University.

Wendy is an avid reader and traveler who loves caffeine, storms and dark chocolate. In addition to her freelance editing, Wendy works in law enforcement, and resides in South Florida.

Michele Fiore—Editor

Michele received a Liberal Arts degree from SUNY Broome and an Associate of Arts degree in Secondary English Education from SUNY Cortland.  In her early career she was a substitute English teacher for grades seven through 12.  She eventually moved to Dallas but is still, and always will be, a New Yorker.

Michele is married and has two teenaged children.

Editor’s note: her bio placeholder bio read “Michele got drug into this” and it was no less factual than the one above.

If we’re lucky: Keith Rosson—Cover design!

Keith is an artist, lecturer and award-winning novelist from Portland.
