Kelsey
Hello, my name is Kelsey and this is my first year as an intern for Epic. A bit about me: I'm in 12th grade, my favorite writing style is flash fiction and my favorite book is They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera.
Khalila
Khalila is a full-IB senior at Edmonds-Woodway High School. She reads, writes, makes art, and plays piano. Her favorite books are The Way Back by Gavriel Savit and The Brilliant Death by AR Capetta. Most of her reading is young adult fantasy, but she’s been trying out some classic sci-fi over the summer. So far, Animal Farm has been her favorite, but that may change when the library hold for Fahrenheit 451 comes through.
She’s been writing since she was a kid, and loves poetry and short stories. She wants to say her favorite word is “sonder,” but her Google Docs history says it’s “just.”
