Featuring:
Claudia McGhee has had a long and varied career as a poet-in-residence, journalist, freelance editor, software technical writer, writing outreach project coordinator, and e-book producer. Paperlight, her chapbook of poems, was published in 2016 by Finishing Line Press. Her work has also appeared in a number of publications, including the Connecticut River Review, The Anvil's Ring, The Dandelion Review, and the anthology WAVES: A Confluence of Women's Voices. Now that she is finally retired, she is working on a collection of science fiction short stories which might someday add up to a memoir.
Lisa C. Taylor is the author of both the short story collection Growing a New Tail and of four collections of poetry. Lisa’s honors include the 2015 Hugo House New Works Award, several Pushcart nominations in both fiction and poetry, and a Best Indie Lit of New England nomination. Alongside Geraldine Mills, she presented at the Elizabeth Shanley Gerson Irish Literature Reading at the University of Connecticut in 2011. Her poetry and fiction have appeared in numerous journals, including WomenArts Quarterly Journal and Worcester Review.
Emily Lyon received her MFA from Southern Connecticut State University. She's looking for a home for her first novel, an account of an American woman living in Tel Aviv during the Second Intifada. She taught creative writing for a couple of years, but she now runs a record shop (recordsthegoodkind.com) and works as a flight attendant. She writes about flying in the first person.
