Daiana Feuer writes fiction, with two novels and a screenplay in the works. She dabbles in video and pursues journalism. She interns at URB Magazine, and was editor of Artizen, the CalArts literary magazine. She is also interested in cartoons, tv, business, food and nature.
Cory Garfin lives and writes in a very blue apartment in Los Feliz. He is currently working on a collection of short, thematically linked, mixed genre pieces. Despite prevalent rumors, Cory has never actually been a pirate, but he is on staff at L.A.’s best bookstore, Skylight Books.
Gerard Olson was home-schooled in the dark forests of northern California’s Cascade mountain range. He did not attend high school. His fiction has been published in Opium magazine.
Daniel Ruiz is a fiction writer, poet, and highway brigand. Though he has several major works in progress, he is presently surviving off his good looks and charm.

Readers: Honey Crawford, David Earle, Maximus Kim, Leila Nichols & Nadine Rambeau.
Honey Crawford is a writer and actor. She has performed with Second City Chicago, Victory Gardens Theater, The Ma'at Association for African American Centered Theater, and Shakespeare Festival, LA. Honey is currently working on a dramatic/poetic text and an epistolary novel.
David P. Earle is a writer and sound artist. He is currently working on a series of essays and flash meditations called Done and Left Undone. He has made sound installations for a number of exhibitions including “Really Real” at Chicago Gallery 312 and the touring broadcast “Radio Transmission Orchestra.”
Maximus Kim is a literary terrorist and personal assistant to Chris Kraus. His novella-length manuscripts include I Dreamt I Was Kathy Acker, One Haiku About Eighteen Things and Break Bloom, Burn! His doctoral candidacy in the UK begins in the fall.
Leila Nichols is presently working on two projects, a semi-autobiography based on loosely interpreted facts and a short book of poetry.
