RYAN BARTLETT - EDITOR IN CHIEF

Ryan Bartlett holds a B.A. in English from California State University, San Bernardino, as well as an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Mills College in Oakland, CA, with an emphasis in Poetry. In addition to numerous publications, Ryan Bartlett's poetry has recently appeared in the New Brutalists' anthology Involuntary Vision and in the Five Fingers Review. He is currently at work on a new collection of poems.

When not at work teaching creative writing to his students at Crafton Hills College, advising PRIDE!: Crafton Hills College GSA or working on his own original writings, Ryan Bartlett enjoys spending time at his home relaxing with his beautiful wife and growing family. As well as watching an episode of Lost or True Blood, along with rooting for the Lakers.

LAURA OLIVER - MANAGING EDITOR

Laura Oliver studied journalism at CSUF before marrying her love and raising four great kids. She jogs twenty miles each week with her three dogs, finding inspiration for life and writing as her feet pound the dirt trails. Delivering her own firstborn in the car on the way to the hospital taught Laura that life can bring the unexpected. A 16 year cancer survivor, she is grateful to God for each new day.

PAM DONAHUE - EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, SHORT STORY

Pam Donahue lives in Southern California with her handsome husband of thirty years, two great sons, and their zoo-slitherers, swimmers, perchers, and rugs that bark. Writing and reading are her passions. Returning to college at a later age has brought about an unusual unwinding of her life experiences.

ZARA BRETT - EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, POETRY

Zara is a modern-day Alice, living in her own little Wonderland.  “She paints her roses red” through abstract literature and art, chasing her dreams as if they were white rabbits.  Her ambition is to be a curator and preserver of history, which has become a vessel of inspiring motivation. She has “grown” from literature; was President of the English Club, awarded the Student Recognition Award for Humanities, and will be obtaining her Associates in English.

MANNY LOPEZ - ART DIRECTOR

Manny Lopez is a Southern California based artist, whose sometimes-controversial work ranges from photography to mixed media. His main work is in the visual arts, as well as written works which have been published in various academic journals. Manny's artwork has also been showcased to raise funds for AIDS related charities, which he holds dear. He can often be found with Eric Northman, as he reads the latest Sookie Stackhouse novel.

DESIREE REED - GRAPHIC DESIGN DIRECTOR

Desiree remembers the arts and crafts her mom shared with her in her past. Since elementary school, Desiree decided to fulfill her dream of being an artist. Although she can be shy, she has an open-minded heart. She works with mixed media, painting, drawing, and graphic design with a goal of continuing school and becoming a great graphic designer.

DAVID DYSART - PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTOR

David Dysart, the new Public Relations Director, is a supporter of New Media and the possibilities it holds for future editions of the magazine. He looks forward to getting The Sand Canyon Review the broad readership that it deserves and creating a Public Relations Group that can get it there.

Thank you for joining us for another post. Until next time, have a great week, everyone!
