Justine Myth is a writer currently residing in the outer reaches of Los Angeles County, California, USA. She earned an MFA in creative writing from California State University at Long Beach, where she was nonfiction editor of the campus literary journal, RipRap. She has a BA in film and television from the University of California at Los Angeles with a concentration in screenwriting. Her short fiction can be described as fabulist or quietly fantastical, whimsy with a case of the blues, or whack-a-doodle with a chaser of harsh reality. But her short-form creative nonfiction is too candid for such adjectival theatrics. Her work can be found in the archives of a few lesser-known presses. She earns a living by noodling financial content while moonlighting as a pet sitter.
Kara McMullen is a writer and research scientist currently based in Portland, Oregon. Her writing has been featured in Diagram, Quarterly West, and elsewhere, and has been nominated for Best American Short Stories and Best of the Net.
Kristina Ryan Tate is an Arizona-born creative writer and artist. As the third of nine children, writing for Tate has become not just a mode of expression, but a voice that cuts through the noise. Most of her work sits in the realm of autofiction, a liminal space between what is real and what is made up. She writes into the facts—and the lies memory tells her—to find the story that didn’t happen within the one that did, a Truth that resonates above everything else.
