Check for new chapters every few weeks! I'm Andrea, soon to be a fourth-year in the College at the University of Chicago. I am majoring in American History and have long-since finished a minor in Classics. Most of my creative endeavors in college have been sporadic and private, so almost all of the material that is posted here is from high school. Bragging rights: Former editor of my prep school's lit mag, published in Copperfield Review, Literary Cavalcade and Saltmag.net, for which I am a former columnist. I won five Scholastic Writing Awards in my day. Wow, high school was five years ago. My focus is historical fiction and neo-Classical poetry (Classical subjects, contemporary style) Don't even try plagiarising me. I don't really know why you'd want to, but someone did in a rather high-profile way, and got caught. Don't be that guy. What will you find here? Current Ongoing Projects: Loved By the Sun-Now in it's third installment! Freshman Year-A novel based on my and friends' experiences during their first year of college. Two lengthy installments have been completed and are ready for upload, though I need to edit them into chapters. The Death of Penthesilea-modern epic poem about the subject. Comments and constructive criticism are encouraged! | |||||||||
