Abigail Scibiur
Editor
Abigail graduated with a Creative Writing minor and dreams of publishing YA novels. She enjoys brainstorming with other writers and is a founding member of the Led.Ink.Paper Writing Group. She also connects with other writers by volunteering at the Breath Christian Writers Conference. Abigail has loved making up stories since she first started crafting adventures with her friends in her backyard. On a free day you might find her in her kitchen cooking, curled up with her journal or manga, outside gardening, and almost always drinking a warm cup of tea
Laurie Schreur
Editor

Samuel Powell
Editor
Sam is a senior who's currently majoring in Communications and minoring in Creative Writing. Simply, he loves stories. Fantastical tales have captured his mind since childhood and still influence him today. Creation fascinates him – both of God and man. He loves reading, but also enjoys writing his share of stories and poems. He also likes road trips, good food, people, and folk tunes.
Wesley Whetstone
Editor
Wesley is a double major in Literature and Creativity and Innovation with a minor in Creative Writing. He has enjoyed writing and studying literature all his life. One of the highlights of his week is brainstorming with the Led.Ink.Paper writing group on campus. Wesley has a passion for writing both fiction and creative nonfiction. When it comes to free time reading, however, YA novels win out. On a lazy Saturday you would probably find Wesley playing board games with his roommates
