Meet The Editors

Alexander Walz earned both his BA and MA in English from Northern Kentucky University, and is now having an existential crisis and doesn’t know what to do after graduation and maybe just wants to grow plants and cook and okay, now he’s spiraling. Though an avid writer of Fiction, he’s shifted to writing Creative Non-Fiction in recent months, after finishing a capstone project focused on food, cooking, and its intersections in his life. Alex is currently working on a local restaurant and food blog for the Cincinnati area and the surrounding region, and seeks to publish works on food, travel, and everything in between.
