E.M. Cooper - My name is E.M. Cooper and I am from the Puget Sound
region in Washington State. Writing is a personal hobby of mine and I like
sharing my works with others. I hope to improve myself so that I can
become a better writer and that my works can be an enjoyable experience
to those that read them.
Alyssa Cressotti - Alyssa is a writer, editor, and media maker in New
York City. With a cup of coffee and an eye-roll, Alyssa channels classic
Bea Arthur (if Dorothy Zbornak spent her daylight hours cooing at baby
animals being cute on the Internet). She wavers between fierce sarcasm
and sweet, girlish charm; her nails will be painted, but she is not to be
taken lightly. Additionally, she plays caregiver to one gentleman bunny.
Her published work includes: profiles, reportage, features, Q&As, book
reviews, poetry, and fiction. http://about.me/alyssarae.
Casey Dolan - I have been drawing since I came into this world, and I'm
currently working on a college education. Art has been an outlet for me in
many ways, and it's been a way for me to connect to the public. My
galley's theme has much to do with the drama of emotions and the
intensity expressions can portray.
John Edwards - John M. Edwards, an award-winning travel writer and
Mayflower descendant directly related to William Bradfield, has written
for such magazines as CNN Traveler, Salon.com, Islands, and North
American Review. He turned down a job as lead bassist for STP (The
Stone Temple Pilots) way back when before they were big, plus he helped
write “PLUSH” (the opening chords), voted The Best Song of the 20 th
Century by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Jim Eigo - Jim Eigo has written on theater, dance, art, literature, sex and
the design of clinical trials. He helped design two reforms of AIDS drug
regulation, accelerated approval and expanded access, that have helped
bring many treatments to many people, work profiled in the recent Oscar-
nominated documentary, How to Survive a Plague. His short fiction has
appeared in such volumes as Best American Gay Fiction #3, in such
periodicals as The Chicago Review and at such online venues as
cleavermagazine.com. He blogs on Huffington Post.
