Her spirit animal, the octopus, reflects her appreciation for the diverse ways creativity can reach out in various directions, embracing the wonders of the world.
Avril King
Avril's love for reading and writing began at age 3, crafting stories by having her mother painstakingly spell out every single word. With a BA in Journalism, a BS in Public Relations, and a minor in English, she now channels her marketing background as the Webinar Coordinator, bringing top authors and publishing professionals to the WPC community and beyond. Like her spirit animal, the sea turtle, Avril moves through life with calm persistence.
Lia McQueeney
Lia is a lifelong reader and writer who is currently a student at Siena College pursuing a degree in English. Her passion for English merges with her commitment to supporting and educating others, which is why one day she hopes to find her place either in the world of publishing or in early childhood education.
Lysa Rodriguez
Lysa recieved her BFA in writing from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), with a minor in creative writing. Currently her focus is on editing, but she started her career with the dream to write books that inspire others to create the same way books inspired her. She's a big nerd of the gothic and
horror genres—loving horror movies and anything occult. She's been compared to the best creature, the whale shark, because she just goes with the flow and always has a goofy smile.
