Fiction
Deven L. Bourquin
I am Deven L. Bourquin and I love cinnamon rolls, Nutella, and quiche. I am a Junior at California University of Pennsylvania majoring in Journalism and Creative Writing. I have spoken French for the last 9 years of my life. I am 20 and already have a handful of white hair but I like to believe that comes from wisdom. I shower about three times a day.
Non-Fiction
Kinda El-attrache
My name is Kinda El-attrache (pronounced like Linda but with a K), I was born on June 14, 1988 in Mt. Pleasant PA, the first born of Lebanese immigrant parents. Both of my parents were professors in the Middle East and my grandparents worked as scientists, journalists, translators and professors with the United Nations. Hence I would like to follow in their footsteps and get my B.A in journalism, and my M.A and doctorate in earth science research and engineering. That is what I feel I was born to do and God willing will happen.
As for my quick interesting “me” facts: we are a house of 4 girls, raised speaking Arabic and English, I love ballet, karate, playing piano, and yoga. I plan on traveling to different parts of the world and working with eco-friendly innovation scientists, and experiencing as many different things as I can this beautiful world has to offer. I pride myself on being able to look at things from other perspectives and being a little of a perfectionist, hence is why I chose to be the editor of this creative non-fiction group.

Poetry
Jamie Rider
I’ve spent the last two years dedicating myself to the college newspaper and pretending I’m not growing up. I drink a lot of tea, watch a lot of movies, and have an irrational fear of moths. You can frequently find me running around Pittsburgh in my free time.
Web Design
Taylor Brown
The funny thing about this bio, is that as the design editor of this website, I consistently found myself yelling at my peers for their own biography's being too short. My argument being that we're all English majors and therefore words should be easy for us, right? Not really, but here is my best, overly cliché attempt at talking about myself.
My name is Taylor Brown and I am a junior here at Cal, double majoring in journalism and creative writing. I'm President of the Society of Professional Journalists here on campus and a staff writer for the Cal Times. Writing is kind of my thing, or at least I like to think so. I enjoy reading trashy romance novels, napping on my couch, listening to my rap music too loud and watching endless hours of Greys Anatomy (among other shows that I like to pretend are real).
