They enjoy serving literary reviews; they were Fiction Editor for Earthwords and are currently Associate Fiction Editor of Brink.
As an editor, they find purpose in facilitating the shine of underrepresented and innovative writers while growing in their own writing. Philip’s writing focuses on ideas of generational trauma and belonging, affectation, and the awkward balance between individual planes of existence.
Destinee (she/her) began writing and performing spoken word poetry mid-2023 but has always been drawn to and enjoyed writing generally. Spoken word is a medium that allows her to practice intentional vulnerability, process life experiences and explore complex emotions, thoughts, and feelings. With her writing she hopes to encourage self expression as well as open a space for others to expand their minds by provoking thought and inner reflection.
