G.M. Holder was born in the United States in 1977. In 2002, at age 24, he traveled alone to postwar Former Yugoslavia and after returning to the U.S. spent ten years writing Love Songs & Monster Songs, which chronicles many of his experiences there. In 2007 he traveled to Northern California where he began research for a trilogy he has been writing since then about the Zodiac Killer. Later that year he also hitchhiked across the country collecting stories for a book which concerns Gutterpunk, train hopping, and hitchhiking cultures. Amongst other ongoing writing projects he is at work on a large fictive neo-classical examination of the United States and a novel about chronic pain and the disability system. Though he is still widely unrecognized outside of underground literary circles, Holder's lyrical and encyclopedic writing style is already being compared to the likes of Thomas Pynchon, James Joyce and William T. Vollmann. Since 2000 he has lived in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of The Introduction to the World.
Mike Knapps lives and works in Pittsburgh. He’s written for a long time, but he’s never gotten anything published. He puts things on the internet at www.theburningbarrel.com.

Time – 8:00 p.m.

Kelly Andrews is a 9-5 stiff getting her kicks as a regular rabble-rouser on the weekends. She'd like to lay claim to being a superfluous writer, but she spends most of her free time doting on her cat. Her work has appeared in Pear Noir! and is forthcoming in Weave Magazine, and she'd like to stress that "the characters are all fictional."
Caitlin Crawford graduated in May 2009 from Carlow University with a degree in Biology and is now working feverishly on applying to vet school. She currently works full time at the Animal Rescue League helping pets find new homes and works part time at Allegro Hearth Bakery helping cookies and bread find new homes, too. In her scant spare time, she mostly hangs out with her cats or dances, sometimes both.
Hannah Aizenman hails from Birmingham, Alabama. She will graduate from the University of Pittsburgh in April with degrees in English Writing (Poetry) and History of Art and Architecture. Her work has appeared in Three Rivers Review and is forthcoming in Collision Literary Magazine. She has an affinity for steel cities, storytelling, and bourbon. After graduation, she looks forward to entering this “real world” she’s heard so much about.
