Biographies
Parisa Akhbari is a writer and mental health therapist from Seattle, Washington. When not writing or therapizing, she can be found trying to replicate her grandmother’s drool-worthy Persian recipes, hanging out with disability community, and marathoning sci-fi movies with her partner and dogs. Just Another Epic Love Poem is her debut novel.
Ashnavi Ghosh is a 16-year-old student born and raised in Pittsburgh. Her works about the exploration of the teenage experience are featured in Ralph Munn Creative Writing Anthologies, the National High School Poetry Contest, and various literary magazines. Beyond dabbling in poetry, she authored a book on genetics titled "Corn" in between debate rounds and the rhythms of punk music.
