New writers!  We’ve got some new writers here!

Maui Holcomb
Maui Holcomb grew up in the Northwest and currently lives and writes in Burbank, California.  He attended Pomona College in the 90’s and works in the lower echelons of the film industry attempting to make movies sound good.  Previously published in Hobo Pancakes, The Cynic Online Magazine, and Stirring, he spends his free time cleaning up after two rapidly growing children.

Sean Crose

Sean Crose’s work has appeared in Breakwater, 6 Tales Magazine, Fiction365 and The Cheshire Patch. He is a graduate of the Act One Writing For Hollywood program and has been a finalist for the
McFarland Screenwriting Fellowship.  Having recently completed work on his masters degree, he now teaches middle schoolers how to read and write (fairly) well. He resides in Connecticut with his wife,

Jennifer, and Cody, “the world’s greatest cat.”

AV Boyd
AV Boyd was raised in Peralta, New Mexico – an obsessive basketball player good enough to sit the bench in high school and then again his freshman year at Knox College, IL. After two years, he returned to Albuquerque where he completed a degree in pharmacy at The University of New Mexico, then traveled to Richmond, VA for graduate school. He decided there was not enough time for his true passion, writing, and he moved home where he now writes full-time and supports himself part-time as a hospital pharmacist. He currently resides in Los Ranchos, NM with his girlfriend and their cat, Freddi, his editor.

Gregory Gunn
Born in Windsor, Ontario in 1960, Gregory Wm. Gunn grew up in a few small towns throughout the province until finally settling in London. A graduate of Fanshawe College as an Electronics Technician in 1980, Mr. Gunn began writing seriously during his academic tenure there. Since then, he has written six full poetry collective works and has had or will have several poems published in: Yes Poetry, Cyclamens & Swords, The Toronto Quarterly, Ditch Magazine,  Ascent Aspirations, Carcinogenic, Steel Toe Review, Covalence, Shangri-La Shack, 1000 Acts of Kindness, Carty’s Journal, Tea With George, 20 X 20 Magazine, Exercise Bowler, Corium, Lines and Stars, Blue Lake Review, Forty Ounce Bachelors, The Light Ekphrastic, Side B Magazine, Burning Wood, and others.

Cody Newton
Cody Newton is a 24-year-old recent graduate of the University of Oregon. His degree is in Journalism and is currently working as an editorial intern at Willamette Week magazine in Portland, Oregon. He’s won two national journalism awards (Pacemaker Award by the Associated Collegiate Press; Mark of Excellence Award by the Society of Professional Journalists), and was nominated for a Hearst Award. He’s just recently begun to publish his creative fiction and non-fiction. His first creative publication was for a short story contest for The Source in Bend, Oregon. He was the youngest of six writers to win. Cody’s education is in journalism, but his passion is in creative writing. Despite the standards of a dry journalism industry, he’s done his best to try and combine a love of creativity and journalism. He loves the freedom of creative writing and respects the people that do it well. Cody began writing creative fiction and non-fiction when he was 18, but has only recently begun to pin down a unique style. His work varies, but a voice is emerging and he’s excited to see where it’ll take him. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon, with his girlfriend of two years. He has a 12-year-old, one-eyed Welsh Corgi, named Columbo. When he’s not working or writing he likes taking his 1969 Mustang out for joyrides in the country.
