Lane Jennings has written mostly poetry, published in literary magazines (Amelia, Antietam Review, Bitterroot, Bogg, Gargoyle, Little Patuxent Review, Nebula, Third Wind, Treasure House, Visions, etc.), and the books Lineage: Prose and Poetry of Three Generations (Xlibris, 2012), Virtual Futures: Worldviews of Alternative Tomorrows (Other Worlds Pess, 1996) and Fabrications: New and Collected Poems (Black Buzzard Press, 1998).  He has also published a few short stories, and one novel, Satisfaction (Xlibris, 2016). 

         After graduating from Williams College in 1966, he studied theatre directing on a Fulbright Scholarship in Munich, Germany, and earned an MA and PhD in German  literature from Harvard University.  He has also taught English in Hong Kong and worked as an escort-interpreter for the U.S. Department of State. 

        From 1984 to 1990 Lane wrote scripts and voice-over narration for documentary television shows produced and broadcast on PBS and in Europe.   He served for over 40 years as an editor and writer for the World Future Society, retiring in 2015 as Managing Editor of the professional journal World Future Review.   Now semi-retired, Lane still does freelance editing and works at screenplay-writing.

I'm on my last set of revisions before querying the first installment of a YA fantasy series, but I tend to distract myself with flash fiction and creative nonfiction.  I'm in search of a writing group that is open and honest with critiques.  I've attended in-person writing groups and online classes in which everyone shies away from constructive criticism, but I'd really appreciate some!

I am an amateur poet and have recently started exploring meter and rhythm rather than rhyme. I've been writing poetry for at least ten years off and on. I also recently started writing short stories based on dreams and other experiences. 

Hello, my name is Noah Riek. I was born and raised in York, Pennsylvania. I'm an author, composer, educator, and performer. My writing is mystical, eclectic, and lyrical. My work is influenced by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Sylvia Plath, Jonathan Stroud, and Saladin Ahmed, among others.

I hold a B.S. of Music Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a M.A. of Fiction from Johns Hopkins University. I recently finished my first symphony, the Book of Modern Psalms, and I'm currently working on a fantasy novel titled The Era of Dread, a trombone concerto titled Persephone, and an EP.

In the 90s I wrote a lot and wrote comedy. I have produced a play I wrote and short films. I have recently been writing creative non-fiction and would like to write more and longer peices in this genre. Once I get that out of mysystem, the next genre that seems like it would be an adventure to write in is speculative fiction. I have been reading a lot of that and memoir lately. Speculative fiction just seems such an endlessly adventurous place to direct thoughts and writing.
